Over the past two years, the No Death Penalty Ohio Coalition built a movement that saw historic legislative progress. Though the legislation that would end Ohio’s death penalty did not pass, we are determined to keep pushing for repeal. It’s a new session and new bills ending Ohio’s death penalty are poised for introduction. Join us at a statewide grassroots meeting to learn about the campaign, ignite or reignite the spark for abolishing the death penalty, and to learn how you can play a role.
We need people like you to join the bipartisan movement to end the death penalty.

Shoulder to Shoulder is a national multifaith coalition of religious denominations and faith-based organizations who are committed to ending anti-Muslim hatred, discrimination, and violence in the United States of America.
For several years, throughout the holy month of Ramadan, Shoulder to Shoulder has organized public iftars, evening meals to break the Ramadan fast. These meals are open to the public and provide opportunities to build community across faith traditions and with muslim friends and neighbors.

Presents
The April 2023 EcoChallenge
Join our team, FCGG for Earth Month 2023, and compete with teams from around the world in this fun, free, educational, and interactive game.
April 1st through April 30th, 2023
You choose your level of involvement from simple one-time actions to daily activities. Each action earns points for our team. You can “chat” with teammates and give high-fives for great ideas. Invite friends, family, and members of your faith community to join our FCGG team.
The April Ecochallenge is designed to introduce you to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s), a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. Ecochallenge transformed the 17 SDGs into 5 categories of daily and one-time actions that everyone can make. With easy-to-understand instructions and information on the Ecochallenge website, you will learn about the local and global benefits of each action. Our team captain, Becca Desai, at bfdesai@aol.com/ is here to assist you if you have questions.
Discussion facilitated by Deborah Jordan

Food from the Radical Center:
Healing Our Land and Communities
by Gary Nabhan
“In Food from the Radical Center (2018), Gary Nabhan tells the stories of diverse communities who are getting their hands dirty and bringing back North America’s unique fare: bison, sturgeon, camas lilies, ancient grains, turkeys, and more. These efforts have united people from the left and right, rural and urban, faith-based and science-based, in game-changing collaborations. Their successes are extraordinary by any measure, whether economic, ecological, or social.” quoted from Amazon.com.
Nabhan is an Agricultural Ecologist, Ethnobotanist, Ecumenical Franciscan Brother, and author whose work has focused primarily on the interaction of biodiversity and cultural diversity of the arid binational Southwest. A first generation Lebanese-American raised in Gary, IN., he is considered a pioneer in the local food movement.
There is a Cincinnati Public Library copy. It can be ordered from Island Press, the leading publisher on environmental issues in the U.S., for $30. There are copies available on Better World Books (a B corp) and Abe Books (a subsidiary of Amazon) for about $10.
