What:/When/Where: Rally and press conference at 5 pm on  Thursday August 20, 4:45 pm at the Chateau Mansion, 13124 Euclid Ave, to address the fact that the courts have branded violence against innocent Black women raped and murdered, through the dismissal last week of claims around negligence by Cleveland police, city officials of missing persons reports, other actions,  as to the Imperial Avenue Murders by convicted serial killer Anthony Sowell, "FRIVOLOUS." VIOLENCE AGAINST INNOCENT VICTIMS OF CRIME INCLUDING  BLACK WOMEN AND OTHERS ACROSS RACIAL, GENDER AND SOCIOECONOMIC LINES IS NOT FRIVOLOUS, AND NEITHER IS POLICE MURDER OR POLICE NEGLIGENCE AND A LACK OF EMPATHY AROUND MISSING PERSONS REPORTS . After the rally the gathering will move inside of the Chateau for a community meeting on the handpicking of  retired, visiting out-of Cuyahoga County judges to illegally come into greater Cleveland to target Black elected officials and others, and on whether elected officials and law enforcement authorities have done enough to help eradicate violence against women and other innocent people  murdered by serial killers, other people, and by Cleveland police, and regardless of race, ethnicity, gender or socioeconomic status.
