Join us in demanding Treasurer Cheryl Brooks Sullivan stop reinvesting in Franklin County’s $33 million in Israel bonds.

• Demand Transparency: The Franklin County Treasurer’s Office is withholding crucial investment information, including the status of $5 million in Israeli bonds.

• Protect Community Funds: With Israel’s credit rating downgraded as Israel continues to kill or severely injure over 100 children a day in Gaza, reinvesting carries significant risk. Join us to advocate for responsible and ethical financial decisions.

• A historic opportunity for change: Your participation sends a powerful message, signaling to other countries that divestment is possible and crucial to ending financial support for Israel’s actions. Your presence will help push for a permanent ceasefire and an end to apartheid.

Michelangelo’s Pieta, the larger-than-life sculpture of the crucified Christ held tenderly in Mother Mary’s lap, has attracted visitors to Rome since it was installed in the old St. Peter’s Basilica more than 500 years ago.

Contemplation of the Pieta gifts one with the powerful presence of sacrifice and divine acceptance, life summoned from stone, transcending death. Christians approach Good Friday with two powerful remembrances: Christ’s sacrifice and redemption on The Cross, and the acceptance, love and compassion expressed through The Pieta.

Countless images emerging from Gaza, of the sudden deaths of children, by bombing, shrapnel, gunshots, and grieving parents evoke modern day Pietas, occurring with terrible frequency. Unlike Michaelangelo’s crucified Christ, the dead children are seldom intact.

They are horribly mangled and disfigured, limbless, headless, often identified by a scrap of clothing. Yet, the bereaved parents, holding what is left of their child wrapped in white shroud, look to the heavens, and, resonating with divine grace and acceptance recite “Allah Akbar,” God is Great.

“Why do you think Trump is racist”. This question was asked of me recently, in all seriousness as far as I could tell. Since everyone in America knows he is racist, I am unsure why I am writing this. Here goes.
