We need your help! Green Columbus is facing a funding challenge due to delayed grant reimbursements (Dispatch & NPR have covered the story), making community support more important than ever. One way you can make a direct impact is by volunteering with us at Crew Concessions—where every volunteer shift earns Green Columbus a donation, plus tips!

How You Can Help

We need volunteers to work concessions at Columbus Crew home games and concerts. Each shift provides critical funding for our mission to grow and sustain Columbus’s tree canopy.

What if bodies of water were guaranteed the kinds of legal rights that would criminalize their destruction? What if communities had the authority to enact laws that prevented pollution, extraction, and waste-dumping?

This would be the case under a new bill introduced into the New York State Assembly by Patrick Burke on Wednesday. If it becomes law, New York Assembly Bill AO5156A, the Great Lakes and State Waters Bill of Rights, would recognize “unalienable and fundamental rights to exist, persist, flourish, naturally evolve, regenerate and be restored” for the Great Lakes and other watersheds and ecosystems throughout New York State.

Although the nations of the world have pledged to respect a system of international law and global responsibility, the recent behavior of several countries provides a sharp challenge to this arrangement.

For over three years, the Russian government has conducted a brutal military invasion, occupation, and annexation of Ukraine―the largest and most devastating military operation in Europe since World War II. Defying Russia’s international obligations―including a peace treaty it signed with Ukraine, a ruling by the International Court of Justice demanding Russia halt its military operations in Ukraine, the UN Charter, and repeated UN General Assembly condemnations of Russian behavior by an overwhelming majority of the world’s nations―the Putin regime has stubbornly persisted with Russia’s imperialist aggression against its smaller, weaker neighbor.

On Saturday, March 22 from 6-9pm at the Ohio Union [Performance Hall], 1739 N. High St., the Unchained OSU Fashion Show will tell the story of an overcomer of human trafficking through three stages: innocence (stars), violence (moon), and restoration (sun).

The story is told using garments, music, facts, and poetic narration. We partner with students and community members to put on the show with students as models and volunteers. The goal of the fashion show is to increase awareness of human trafficking both locally and globally. We hope to empower models, volunteers, and attendees with the necessary education, training, and tools to identify and report the crime and to join the abolitionist movement. Through this, attendees will learn what human trafficking is (awareness), what red flags and factors that lead to trafficking are (accountability), and what can be done to stop trafficking and help overcomers (action).

Stop the Genocide! Arms embargo now!

Greenpeace is well known around the world as an activist environmental organization over the last more than fifty years. Internationally, it’s based in the Netherlands, but has huge branches in many countries. To say the organization is high-profile is almost an understatement. Its ships have tried to stop nuclear testing, been fired on by the
French, been in one mess after another with Japan and other whaling countries, and more. It’s resilience and activism has won it huge support from individual donors along with a very effective door-to-door canvass, which has allowed Greenpeace to maintain its independence, fueled by zany, media grabbing tactics.

Dr. Bob and Dan-o highlight musicians honored through the years at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, inclduding Buddy Guy, Led Zeppelin, Mavis Staples, Linda Ronstadt and more! Unfotunately Trump has fired the whole Board of the Kennedy Center and replaced them with himself and his buddies to prevent anyone woke from getting an award.
