A Dangerously Divided World Highlights the Need to Empower International Institutions

United Nations

On September 13, the British public was startled when more than 110,000 people turned out for a raucous far-right rally in London featuring racist conspiracy theories, anti-Muslim hate speech, and violent assaults upon police. Whipping up the crowd, Tommy Robinson―a popular far-right agitator, march organizer, and five-time convicted criminal―told the assemblage that British government officials believed “that Somalians, Afghans, Pakistanis, all of them, their rights supersede yours, the British public, the people that built this nation.” Signs carried by the demonstrators invoked racist and xenophobic themes, such as: “Why are white people despised when our money pays for everything?”

Tell Franklin County Treasurer: No More Israeli Bonds

Details about event
Franklin Country has lent Israel $28 million that could be used to fund its ongoing wars. That means Franklin Country's taxpayers have effectively loaned Israel $28 million to use how it sees fit. While many US officials want you to believe that Israel is considered the United States’ most trusted and dependable ally in a region of the world that is volatile at best, they do not tell you that Israel has a long history of spying on the US, stealing its top secrets, blackmailing US politicians, and killing US citizens in cold blood. Don't believe me, Google search USS Liberty, Rachel Corrie, Shireen Abu Akleh or Jonathan Pollard to name few. Inline image

Trump Rapture

Wild Republican Overreach Gets Pushback

Pam Bondi

I’m not going to say there’s a falling out among the thieves, because I don’t want to cast aspersions, but there’s a thunderstorm in heaven, there’s a break in the ranks, there are flies in the anointment, or whatever expression you want to choose, it’s not trivial, and perhaps very important, that there is finally some proof of life within the Republican caucus in the Senate and the US House of Representatives over the wild and crazy dictates of cabinet members and appointees trying to outdo themselves in fealty to Trump’s whims and wishes. After allowing Trump and his people to roll over elected members of Congress, this is might be a finger in the wind for change. Additionally, where the conservative ecosystem has essentially been an obsequious amen corner on almost every Trump connect outrage, finally there’s a stirring of complaint.

Write letters to detainees

Letters of Hope

Monday, September 22, 8 PM ET / 7 PM CT
Did you know you can write letters to immigrants in detention, even if you don’t personally know someone detained?

The U.S. government is now detaining a record number of immigrants, and reportedly plans to almost double their detention capacity by the end of 2025. This includes a renewed emphasis on detaining families, including those with young children.

If you feel helpless when hearing about the high number of immigrants being detained by ICE, there is a way to respond with hope and care. Our friends at Casa de Paz have
graciously agreed to host us for a private Zoom training where we’ll learn how to correspond with detainees. 

If you want to take this step in supporting our immigrant neighbors, join us on Monday, September 22, at 8 PM ET / 7 PM CT to learn more about becoming a pen pal with
Casa de Paz.
