City Club of Cleveland Virtual
Forum From Incarceration to Advocacy: A New Approach to Criminal Justice Reform Friday, June 18, 2021 12:30 - 1:30 pm Speaker: DeAnna Hoskins, President, JustLeadershipUSA (JLUSA) Dedicated to cutting the
U.S. correctional population in half by 2030, JLUSA empowers people most affected by incarceration to drive policy reform.
An Ohio native and nationally recognized leader, DeAnna Hoskins has been committed to the movement for justice, working alongside
people impacted by incarceration for nearly two decades. She has experienced the reentry system from all perspectives-she
is herself a previously incarcerated individual who has successfully transitioned back into the community, ultimately receiving
a pardon from Governor Ted Strickland. Join us for a conversation with Hoskins about how to achieve criminal justice reform through collective leadership,
advocacy for justice reinvestment, and bold systems change. The livestream will be available beginning at 12:30 pm. Have questions? Tweet them at @TheCityClub or send a text to 330.541.5794.
Speakers:
Earlier this year, U.S. Representative Marcia Fudge − the Warrensville Heights Democrat who represented Ohio's 11th District since 2008 − was confirmed as the 18th Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The vacancy allows voters to choose a new representative in special elections slated for August 3 and November 2. District 11 is one of two majority-minority Ohio districts protected under the Voting Rights Act
of 1965. It encompasses much of Cleveland, its eastern suburbs, a western portion of Akron, and about 30 cities. Join us for a 90-minute virtual debate
as the Democratic candidates for District 11 explain their platforms and differences, and why they deserve your vote. Have
a question? Submit it to debates@cityclub.org by June 15 at 5:00 pm. The livestream will be available beginning at 5:30 pm. 
A bill requiring party affiliation to be listed in some judicial

Hosted
by the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association - https://www.clemetrobar.org/  Want to vote for your favorite political candidate, but
fear that doing so will help the opposition by splitting the vote on your side? There is a SOLUTION! Join Indivisible Strongsville
on June 29th at 7 pm for a Zoom meeting on Ranked Choice Voting (RCV). Geoff Young, a member of
the Speakers Bureau for the nonpartisan Rank the Vote Ohio, will inform us of the many benefits of this simple upgrade to
our current electoral system. RCV is already used statewide in Maine and Alaska, and as of this year, New York City joins
around 50 other cities across the country in using RCV for local elections. Rank the Vote Ohio believes that our state is
next in line-Ohioans are clearly ready and eager for substantive change. Come learn about RCV and the plan to improve Ohio's
elections through a statewide ballot initiative. |
