John-Stings: A Partial Remedy to Suffering on Sullivant and All Over Columbus?

Thursday, December 5, 7-8:30pm, St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, 30 W. Woodruff Ave.

Living in Columbus, it’s not hard to see that the system is broken. We live under a reign of police terror where working-class black and brown youth are targeted for execution and imprisonment; Ohio State University and the city of Columbus have been working together to gentrify neighborhood after neighborhood; tens of thousands of students are getting into life-long debt for an education; ICE harasses undocumented immigrants with impunity; landlords and capitalists exploit and oppress us.

Wednesday, December 4, 7-8:30pm, Columbus Metropolitan Library [Main Branch], 96 S. Grant Ave.

Jewish Voice for Peace members are inspired by Jewish tradition to work together for peace, social justice, equality, human rights, respect for international law, and a U.S. foreign policy that is based on these ideals.
