Anti-Militarism: News & Updates

As the world faces an out-of-control diversion of energy and human resources into warmaking, and with United states planning a long and costly upgrade of nuclear weaponry , Dr. Helfand will outline the work from Back from the Brink. This organization brings communities together to prevent the growing threat that nuclear weapons pose to our health, environment, and all we hold dear transmuting fear and anxiety over the threat of a nuclear holocaust into meaningful action. 

Please join us for an evening of discussion and reflection on Cooperative Culture!

The world we live in greatly favors domination culture. We see this culture in our work places, in our government, in our schools, and even in some of our houses of worship. We are constantly presented with organizational structures that divide, and alienate us. Ways of living and working that focus on control, authority, and management.

Join us to learn more about CatholicSocial Teaching and immigration and the work already being done in the Cleveland area to support our immigrant and refugee neighbors. 

“Neighboring the Dear Neighbor: A Catholic Response to Immigration in Cleveland” is being held on Saturday, June 13, 10am-12pm at the St Joseph Center, 3430 Rocky River Dr., Cleveland 44111.

Free and open to the public.

Between May 23 and May 30, communities across Ohio are coming together for a statewide week of interfaith vigils in solidarity with people held in civil immigration detention (a.k.a. ICE jail). Faith leaders, organizers, and community members will raise their voices, hold space for reflection, and stand in collective action. This coordinated week of action calls for:

• An end to ICE detention

• Transparency on detention facility funding

• An end to 287(g) agreements
