Tell Congress: Stop Arming Israel with My Tax Dollars
Israel has been massacring and starving Palestinian families in Gaza while violently invading the West Bank. These acts of genocide are directly funded through our taxpayer dollars. Gaza can't wait. The West Bank can't wait. And we can't look away while our tax dollars enable these atrocities.
Email your members of Congress now to demand: Support an immediate ARMS EMBARGO to halt all weapons to Israel, Enforce U.S. law that prohibits military funding for human rights violations, and Push for unobstructed humanitarian aid and a permanent ceasefire.
Our tax dollars should fund care, not killing. Books not bombs. Homes not drones. Healthcare not warfare.

Speak out for the Monarch Butterfly
The Monarch Butterfly is one of the most iconic species in North America. Each year, these remarkable creatures migrate from Canada and across the U.S. to gather by the thousands in overwintering forests of central Mexico and coastal California. However, Monarch numbers in North America continue to decline. We have the opportunity to protect these dear pollinators.
A Case Study in Deadly Force as a divided community tries to make sense of two tragedies
On May 1, 2025, 18-year-old Ryan Hinton was fatally shot by a Cincinnati police officer in East Price Hill. This tragedy highlights the controversial legal doctrine of qualified immunity that often protects officers from accountability, acting as a veritable “get out of jail free card” in cases of alleged misconduct.
Meanwhile, the community grapples with the aftermath of two connected tragedies: Hinton’s shooting and the subsequent death of Hamilton County Sheriff’s Deputy Larry Henderson, struck and killed by Hinton’s father, Rodney Hinton Jr., the following day. While Rodney Hinton faces charges of aggravated murder, his actions are described as those of a grieving father distraught after watching footage of his son’s death.
