CLEVELANDURBANNEWS.COM-CLEVELAND,Ohio-Led by Women's March Cleveland, Refusefacism.org, the Carl Stokes Brigade, and the Black Women's Political Action Committee, greater Cleveland activist groups will rally at 11 am on June 15, 2019 on the steps of Cleveland City Hall next to the Free Stamp in downtown Cleveland as part of a national day of protest calling for an inquiry into the impeachment of President Donald Trump, the event spearheaded at the national level by such groups as MoveOn.org, By the People and some 20 other organizations.
Activist Genevieve Mitchell, a former Cleveland School Board Member and prior mayoral candidate, will keynote Cleveland's rally with other speakers to include Black Women's PAC President Elaine Gohlstin, and activists Cheryl Lessin, Brenda Adrine and Steve Holecko, chair of the Cuyahoga County Progressive Caucus.
Both Mitchell and Holecko will speak on the theme of impeachment, the other speakers slated to address the president's policies across the board that they say disenfranchises America's most vulnerable, including immigration reform, foreign policy, education reproductive rights, housing and employment, and Civil and human rights.
Cleveland is a largely Black major American city and activists say the president has disregarded impoverished urban areas choosing, through is tax and other policies, to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
Dubbed #ImpeachTrump Day of Action, organizers say events will occur in some 133 venues in cities across the country, not only in Cleveland, but in Atlanta, Massachusetts and iMinnesota, U.S. Sen and presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren and Minnesota Rep. Rashida Tlaib slated to of impeachment while other places the activist range from public protest like in Cleveland, to coffee shop gatherings
National organizers say they now have some 133 events planned nationwide, up form 75 just last week.
Led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi House Democratic leaders have downplayed impeachment, angering the progressive left, the protests aimed at giving the public a forum for their own voices the day deemed " a National Action to Defend Democracy.
The growing desire for impeachment, with national polls showing that nearly a quarter of Americas approve of it, comes as the 2020 presidential elections nears and a crowded field of Democrat seeks the nomination to seek to oust Trump, a Republican and a real estate mogul, from power.
It follows the controversial the release of the Mueller report, the official report documenting the findings and conclusions of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 United States presidential.
An NPR/PBS News Hour/Marist Poll finds that some 22% of Americans want impeachment proceeding to ensue against the sitting president , while another 25% want an investigation into potential wrong doing, the president saying it is all a political with hunt, through the Muller report did not exonerate Trump and his entourage from wrongdoing.
But not all of the Dems agree with Pelosi's stance that impeachment proceedings will shine a negative light on the country and might ultimately back fire, Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan, a Youngstown area Democrat and president candidate last week publicly calling for Trump
to be impeached, and Rep Marcia Fudge, a Warrensville Heights Democrat whose largely Black 11th congressional district include parts of Cleveland Akron and Cleveland's eastern suburbs, speaking this week on the House floor and demanding in the least an impeachment investigation.
Whether any impeachment process proves fatal to the president remains to be seen, and is unlikely, pundits say.
Impeachment exist under constitutional law and is a two-step process at the federal level.
The House of Representatives must first pass, by a simple majority of those present and voting, articles of impeachment, and then the Senate must do the same.
But it only then that charges are assessed, similar to an felony indictment on criminal charges, and such charges do not mean that a president will be removed from office, which takes a conviction .
Pelosi says the impeachment process is more complicated than most people think, some of her Democratic congressional colleges like Reps Fudge and Ryan pushing for an inquiry into impeachment proceedings anyway.
