Indivisible Central Ohio Congressional Recess Event at Representative Mike Carey’s Office
Tuesday, April 22 @ 2:00 PM
On Tuesday, April 22, Indivisible Central Ohio is hosting a Congressional recess event outside Representative Mike Carey’s Columbus office. To date, Rep Carey has been avoiding conversations with constituents, so we will meet at his office and ask again for a meeting with Carey or his staff.
Residents of Ohio’s 15th Congressional District have logged countless calls and requests for meetings with Rep Carey or his staff, but Carey’s office has been avoiding these calls and requests. Concerned Ohioans need access to communicate directly with their elected representatives and Rep Carey and his staff are not honoring this part of their responsibilities.
During this office visit, if Rep Carey and his staff refuse to meet with constituents, Indivisible Central Ohio and constituents in Ohio’s 15th Congressional district will bring signs to show their representative they demand to be heard and will picket outside.
Members of the media are invited to attend to cover this event.

Four GOP Senators Resist IRA Tax-Credit Repeal
Four Republican U.S. Senators have added their names with 21 Republican congressional representatives in support of retaining the renewable energy benefits outlined in the Inflation Reduction Act or the IRA.
The latest letter from Senators Lisa Murkowski from Alaska, Thom Tillis from North Carolina, John Curtis from Utah and Jerry Moran from Kansas expressed their support for continuing the renewable energy policy set forth in the Inflation Reduction Act, IRA.
Senators Murkowski, Tillis and Moran voted Nay for the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022. Curtis is a freshman senator from Utah elected in 2024.
There was no mention that President Trumps’ executive orders repealed the existing renewable energy agreements.
The republican senators carefully ask for “a targeted, pragmatic approach”.
House committees will soon begin the process of budget reconciliation in conjunction with Senate panels.
No More Israel Bonds in Franklin County
Thursday, April 17, 2pm
Franklin County Government Center 373 S. High St., first floor, auditorium
Join us in demanding Treasurer Cheryl Brooks Sullivan stop reinvesting in Franklin County’s $33 million in Israel bonds.
• Demand Transparency: The Franklin County Treasurer’s Office is withholding crucial investment information, including the status of $5 million in Israeli bonds.
• Protect Community Funds: With Israel’s credit rating downgraded as Israel continues to kill or severely injure over 100 children a day in Gaza, reinvesting carries significant risk. Join us to advocate for responsible and ethical financial decisions.
• A historic opportunity for change: Your participation sends a powerful message, signaling to other countries that divestment is possible and crucial to ending financial support for Israel’s actions. Your presence will help push for a permanent ceasefire and an end to apartheid.
Sponsored by JVP Central Ohio, AMP Columbus, Columbus DSA, and CPUSA.

IDF killed 6 brothers in Gaza and 4 more brothers in Jenin
A father is not supposed to bury his children. It goes against the natural order of things and when parents lose their children, it is a tragedy that shakes a parent to the core, not if you live in Palestine. That's exactly what happened in Deir al-Balah, Gaza Strip yesterday when the Israeli Death Forces (IDF) killed 6 brothers from the Abu Mahadi family by bombing their vehicle as they traveled to aid displaced people through a charity. Their elderly father has to bury his 6 sons, including his youngest of 10 years old.
The men were not carrying weapons, nor were they resisting. They were civilians. The six brothers and their friend were killed when an Israeli airstrike hit their vehicle in the Gaza Strip early on Sunday. Ibrahim Abu Mahadi mourned his sons as their bodies were brought to the al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, according to Gaza ambulance service. Their elderly father has to bury his 6 sons after he conducted the janaza prayers. AP reports saw the mangled and bloodied car as relatives wept over the bodies.
