A hand salute to Jewish group If Not Now (INN). I am proud of INN movement whose activists oppose the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. This progressive Jewish group also opposes United States policies and institutions that support Israel's occupation, and it denounces the Trump Administration's authoritarian agenda. This group usually seeks to apply pressure through direct action and media work.

Khalil, 30, is a legal U.S. resident with no criminal record, his wife is a US citizen, and they are expecting the arrival of their first child next month.

On Saturday, March 22 from 6-9pm at the Ohio Union [Performance Hall], 1739 N. High St., the Unchained OSU Fashion Show will tell the story of an overcomer of human trafficking through three stages: innocence (stars), violence (moon), and restoration (sun).

The story is told using garments, music, facts, and poetic narration. We partner with students and community members to put on the show with students as models and volunteers. The goal of the fashion show is to increase awareness of human trafficking both locally and globally. We hope to empower models, volunteers, and attendees with the necessary education, training, and tools to identify and report the crime and to join the abolitionist movement. Through this, attendees will learn what human trafficking is (awareness), what red flags and factors that lead to trafficking are (accountability), and what can be done to stop trafficking and help overcomers (action).

Greenpeace is well known around the world as an activist environmental organization over the last more than fifty years. Internationally, it’s based in the Netherlands, but has huge branches in many countries. To say the organization is high-profile is almost an understatement. Its ships have tried to stop nuclear testing, been fired on by the
French, been in one mess after another with Japan and other whaling countries, and more. It’s resilience and activism has won it huge support from individual donors along with a very effective door-to-door canvass, which has allowed Greenpeace to maintain its independence, fueled by zany, media grabbing tactics.

Dr. Bob and Dan-o highlight musicians honored through the years at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, inclduding Buddy Guy, Led Zeppelin, Mavis Staples, Linda Ronstadt and more! Unfotunately Trump has fired the whole Board of the Kennedy Center and replaced them with himself and his buddies to prevent anyone woke from getting an award.

We, at MY Project USA, invite you to join us for a special CommUnity Iftar & Fundraiser to foster Kinship and Strengthen our Village to Protect & Empower the most vulnerable in our community. Calling on community leaders, elected officials, interfaith and corporate leaders to join hands for a collaborative & transformative action.

This gathering is not just about breaking bread; it is about breaking barriers. Ramadan calls for reflection, renewal, and a commitment to justice, much like many other faith-based practices. These traditions remind us of sacrifice and the responsibility to care for our neighbors. Now, more than ever, we must hold high the flag of Kinship for Youth.

It is crucial for any American administration to recognize that, regardless of political agendas, the views of the American public regarding the situation in Palestine and Israel are undergoing a significant shift. A critical mass of opinion is rapidly forming, and this change is becoming undeniable.

 Paradoxically, while Islamophobia continues to rise across the US, sentiments supporting Palestinians and opposing Israeli occupation are steadily increasing.

 In theory, this means that the pro-Israeli media's success in linking Israel’s actions against the Palestinian people to the so-called "war on terror" — a narrative that has demonized Islam and Muslims for many years — is faltering.

For 250 years, the U.S. Postal Service has been a public, self-funded agency that processes, sorts, and delivers essential mail to every address, no matter where you live. In the U.S., postal correspondence remains one of the most secure and resilient forms of communication.

The USPS we all rely on for our letters, medications and parcels, has come under threat. On February 20, the Washington Post reported that the President would issue an Executive Order firing the postal Board of Governors, the Postmaster General and placing the USPS under the control of the Commerce Department and its billionaire Secretary Howard Lutnick. These efforts have since been confirmed by the President, in an effort to take us one step closer to privatization.
