Moral Monday, August 4th at noon in the Capitol Rotunda.

Join us as we gather to build the Moral Movement of The National Call for Moral Revival. I fast when I'm seriously prayin', join me from wherever you are starting at 8pm Sunday evening and continuing for the following 72 hours.

Matthew 6:16-18 - “And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others."

Sunday, August 3, 2025, 4:00 – 5:00 PM
Franklin County Municipal Court, 375 S. High Street, Columbus 43215

Join Central Ohio Jews for Justice and interfaith partners and community organizations to observe the traditional day of mourning, Tisha b’Av. Sunday, August 3rd from 4 - 5 pm, 375 South High Street. We will gather outside the Franklin County Municipal Court which is allowing ICE agents into the court. We will be mourning the destruction enacted on our neighbors by our own government, and hearing from our partner organizations including calls to action. United States anti-immigration forces are carrying out campaigns of terror in the name of Jewish safety, which makes all of us less safe.

We speak out against the false use of Jewish safety to justify unjustifiable violence, from the destruction of Gaza to threats against our immigrant neighbors. Optional RSVP - link below - if you will be attending and would like to stay in touch for future events.

RSVP or send questions to Centralohiojewsforjustice@gmail.com.

From rapid response protests to coordinated mass mobilizations, we’ve been turning rage into power — and the American People’s Movement is only growing.

This isn’t a moment. It’s a strategy.

Nonviolent. Uncompromising. Community-led.

We’re not here to perform protest. We’re here to disrupt systems and build something stronger in their place.

If you’re with us, head to RageAgainstTheRegime.org to organize, mobilize, and amplify with flyer templates, messaging guidance, and more.

Join us in celebration of the market's 9th year! Bronzeville Growers Market is building a sustainable local food system in a food desert. Every Thursday, 3-6pm.

Meet the people that grow your food, learn the origins and history of fresh vegetables and/or fruits, learn different ways to prepare food, purchase quality produce at a great price and connect with current and meet new friends from the neighborhood.

Traditionally, executioners, bank robbers, and killers in horror films wear masks. It's easier to do bad things and to frighten others when you cannot be held accountable, when you cannot be recognized as human.

Gangs of masked men are kidnapping people in the United States on behalf of the U.S. government, and refusing to identify themselves. They could be non-governmental criminals, for all anyone knows, and yet refusal to obey them is treated as a crime, even if their victim had not been accused of any other crime prior to that moment.

We're pushing forward three pieces of legislation in the U.S. Congress:

• The VISIBLE Act — introduced by Sen. Alex Padilla, this bill prohibits ICE agents from concealing their identities.

• The No Masks for ICE Act — introduced by Rep. Nydia Velázquez, this bill bans ICE officers from wearing face coverings that obscure their identities.

When the activist and preservation group Community Improvement 614 wanted to know more about LinkUS plans for West Broad Street, a federal engineer spoke up, saying, “You won’t recognize West Broad when we’re done, it will look completely different.”

This was a Federal Transit Administration (FTA) engineer talking candidly, and also on that call with Community Improvement 614 were officials from the City of Columbus and COTA, the Central Ohio Transit Authority. Others heavily involved with LinkUS are the Columbus Partnership and MORPC {Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission), and construction on West Broad for LinkUS’s first “Bus Rapid Transit” (BRT) line is scheduled to begin in 2026 with its accordion buses running by 2028.

Community Improvement 614 hastily formed last summer after realizing LinkUS could drastically alter West Broad.

Israel is trying to deflect global outrage by promising more aid, but we know the truth: starvation, blockade, and mass killing are not accidents. They are weapons of genocide. Even if trucks move tomorrow, this is not a solution.  It’s a PR cover for genocide and the the world must not look away.  

Bring signs, Kufiyahs, Flags, pots and pans.

Senate Bill 63 would ban ranked-choice voting statewide and withhold state funding from cities who want to use it.

If you're unfamiliar with the concept, watch this short video for a quick explainer.

When politicians can draw their own districts and choose their voters, they stop being accountable to the people. But ranked-choice voting can help change the game:

CALL TO ACTION: Show Up to Stop Taxpayer-Funded Genocide

Thursday, July 24
-2:00 PM
 
 Franklin County Treasurer’s Office, 373 S. High St., First Floor Auditorium 

Are you heartbroken and outraged watching the ongoing starvation and slaughter of children in Gaza? Do you feel helpless watching your tax dollars continue to fund war, apartheid, and genocide?

This is your chance to DO something.

In February, Franklin County Treasurer Cheryl Brooks Sullivan made the decision not to reinvest $5 million of our public funds in Israel Bonds — a move applauded by community members committed to human rights.

But now, Israel’s economy is being artificially propped up. War profiteering, booming weapons and surveillance industries, and an inflated stock market could all potentially help improve Israel’s credit rating — making it more likely that public officials could consider reinvesting in genocide.

We must show up and say: NO MORE!
