Monday, April 21, 6:30-7:30pm, this on-line event requires advance registration

The Amos Project’s Black Women’s Health Initiative (BWHI) will host a special town hall featuring Congresswoman Joyce Beatty on Monday, April 21 at 6:30pm. This important community event aims to address critical health issues affecting Black women in Ohio.

Congresswoman Beatty, a longtime advocate for healthcare equity and women’s health issues, will discuss recent legislative efforts and will answer questions from community members about the ongoing healthcare challenges facing Black women.

“This town hall provides a vital opportunity for direct dialogue between our community and Congresswoman Beatty on health issues that disproportionately impact black women. We encourage all interested community members to attend and participate in the important conversation.” — Joscelyn Clarke, Organizer, The Amos Project

My rewrite of the famous quote by Lord Palmerston regarding “interests” to have it reflect the reality of Israel and its powerful friends would go something like this: “I say that it is a narrow policy to suppose that Israel is to be marked out as the eternal ally or the perpetual friend of the United States and of enlightened western values. By design, Israel has no eternal allies. Its interests are indeed perpetual but center on its own success at aggressively portraying itself always as the victim while also advancing its own tribal interests.” I admittedly tend to think often about the enemy we of the western Christian tradition have been nurturing at our breast for decades in a spirit of tolerance, a viper that is only setting out to corrupt and then destroy us, manifest particularly at this time of year, when the life and death of Jesus Christ ought to be rightly celebrated. Alas, in today’s Israel what is truly remarkable is the government’s open suppression of Christian identity and worship without any complaint coming from Washington or from the other nominally Christian nations of Europe.
