Dear Community activists and others,

Thank you to the more than 100 people that came out yesterday to the rally/fundraiser at the Chateau Mansion in East Cleveland for Ohio Senator Nina Turner(D-25) for Ohio Secretary of State. Senator Turner gave a dynamic speech on voting rights and so did others. It was a great event. I was asked to lead it, and did so willingly. Read below who was there, including Black elected officials and clergy, community activists, a sitting judge, and Ohio Representative Armond Budish (D-8).

Community activists Don Bryant of Peace in the Hood, etc has asked that we meet on the 137 shots issue. We will meet on Wednesday, June 18 at 5:30 pm at the Chateau Mansion, 13124 Euclid Ave, to discuss what activists  will do about the 12 non-Black cops not getting indicted for gunning down unarmed Blacks Malissa Williams. Do not come if you just want to get Black mayors Frank Jackson of Cleveland and Gary Norton of East Cleveland while leaving Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty, who recommend that they not be indicted, free of any criticism. We will vote on what position to take after each group representative speaks. We will also address the apathy by the Cleveland NAACP on this issue. Call 216-659-0473 for more info.

Participants  at the State Sen Nina Turner event yesterday at the Chateau include Ohio State Rep Armond Budish (D-8), East Cleveland Municipal Court Judge William Dawson, East Cleveland City Council President Barbara Thomas, Cleveland Ward 6 Councilwoman Mamie Mitchell, East Cleveland Board of Education President Una H.R. Kennon, also president of the Black Women's PAC, East Cleveland Board of Education Member Tiffany Fisher, former East Cleveland Board of Education member Pam McClarron,  former chief of staff for former congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones Dr. Betty Pinkney, former Cleveland school board members Gerald Henley and Genevieve Mitchell, retired Cleveland Plain Dealer reporter Dick Peery,  and community activists Bettie Simpson, Clarissa Foster, Dr. Valerie and Stewart Robinson, Marva and David Patterson, Rev Pamela Pinkney Butts, Greg Roberts, Chateau Owner Betty Mahone, Pier Nappier, William Clarence Marshall, Greg Roberts, Mary Seawright, Rev. Gwendolyn Pitts, Deacon Adams, Amy Hurd, Greg Roberts, Mary Hopper, and Ada Averyhart.
