It is not often that one hears anything like the truth in today’s Washington, a city where the art of dissimulation has reached new heights among both Democrats and Republicans. Everyone who has not been asleep like Rip Van Winkle for the past twenty years knows that the most powerful foreign lobby operating in the United States is that of the state of Israel. Indeed, by some measures it just might be the most powerful lobby period, given the fact that it has now succeeded in extending its tentacles into state and local levels with its largely successful campaigns to punish criticism or boycotting of Israel while also infiltrating boards of education to require Holocaust education and textbooks that reflect favorably on the Jewish state.

“All things are interrelated. Everything in the universe is part of a single whole. Everything is connected in some way to everything else. It is therefore possible to understand something only if we can understand how it is connected to everything else.”

These words, the first of the Twelve Teachings of the Sacred Tree, quoted by Rupert Ross in his extraordinary book, Returning to the Teachings, begin to open the biggest truth of all about the burning rainforests of Planet Earth.

Words Taco Beer Challenge with colorful leaves in the background

Now through September 2019
Join our online taco or beer challenge to raise funds for abortion access and immigrant / border justice! We will be fundraising for one of our favorite abortion funds, La Frontera Fund! They are located in the Rio Grande Valley and their day to day work is very much at the intersection of reproductive justice and immigrant justice.  We will also be fundraising for Solidarity with Edith Espinal. Edith has been a part of the Columbus, Ohio community for over 20 years and is currently forced to live in sanctuary because of cruel and unjust deportation policies. Edith's family and community intend to keep Edith home and hopefully set a precedent for how cases like hers are handled both in state and nationally!  More details about orgs we are uplifting during Taco and Beer Challenge coming soon!

There is NO place for apartheid, hatred, and oppression in Dayton and in the hearts of Daytonians. Come help us peacefully send this message.  Sunday, September 1, Christians United for Israel (CUFI) will be in Dayton to “honor” Israel. This is an anti-Semitic organization that supports the oppression and segregation of the Palestinian people. Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine and the ongoing inhumane treatment of the Palestinian people is nothing to celebrate or honor!  Bring signs, posters, and yourselves so that we can peacefully show that we do not stand with oppression nor will we allow the inhumane treatment of Palestinian people to be justified in the name of ANY religion. Location: Dayton Courthouse Square, Dayton 45402.  Facebook
