Look Palestinians in the Eye(s) is a grassroots campaign anchored in the USA that mobilizes artists, organizers, and faith-based communities to confront U.S. complicity in Israeli ethnic cleansing and connect the fight for justice in Palestine to global movements for justice through interventions, direct action, and political education. Deep roots in Palestine and resistance movements ensure that the campaign is strategically aligned with global struggles against settler colonialism and state violence.

We expect our church to be in the national spotlight when President Trump seeks to deport Haitians from Springfield, Ohio. We took the lead in setting up Springfield Neighbors United, a group of around 200 individuals committed to standing with our Haitian neighbors in the face of what we consider to be unjust deportations. We will use this grant to improve the security of our facility (installing indoor & outdoor security cameras), to provide low cost legal aid (specifically, subsidizing the cost of emergency same day appointments with an immigration attorney, and providing aid to Haitians needing additional legal service), and providing training for churches that plan to provide physical sanctuary or refuge.

Midwest Books to Prisoners is an all-volunteer abolitionist organization that sends free books, zines, custom newsletters, educational and legal resources, and other reading material to incarcerated people all over the country. While the prison industrial complex works to isolate and deprive people inside from accessing information on the outside hiding the truth and reality of life behind bars from the outside, we practice solidarity across prison walls by building bridges of communication and human connection, uplifting and amplifying voices the system silences by helping incarcerated people self-publish their works as zines.

The Year of Nonviolent Solutions will popularize hundreds of viable alternatives to violence throughout 2026. Through creative media, posters, and organizing campaigns, we'll uplift proven solutions: restorative justice, community safety initiatives, conflict resolution in schools, living wages, universal basic income, Housing First, debt abolition, reparations, renewable energy, nonviolent struggle as an alternative to war, and civilian-based defense. We'll demonstrate that these programs solve systemic violence, have proven track records, and often cost less than the systems they replace.
