Cleveland must never stop fighting for more democracy. The truth is that our fight was never with Cleveland City Council or the structures of representative government. It was with a donor class of wealthy special interests that believe they’re entitled to public resources (1/3)

This isn't the end of the story. The movement for a people’s budget is an early chapter in a much longer story that puts the needs of our communities at the center of policy making over corporate interests, while building power in the community for important fights to come.

Appreciate the time that lies beside the end of time. My cardinal rule in end-of-life caregiving is to give the dying person what they ask for. The truth, a lit cig, a whopper, whiskey. Keep dignity alive as long as they are. Let them see the world unveiled if that is their wish.

Until we ban politicians from being able to pick their voters with gerrymandered maps in Ohio, any local legislation that hints of more popular power will be pre-empted. We saw that with SB 158 in September, which would have made Issue 38 illegal if passed.

The gutting of these after school and summer programs😭Feral. Decades of tax abatements and tax exemption structures later, how long will Cleveland children continue to live rent free in the heads of politicians & their developer & team owner bosses?

How wild that Ohio voters must collect 800,000 signatures to re-instate basic democratic measures? And it’ll be a decade before any real roll out of expanded democratic powers? I’m so old at 31!!

This fund is a great opportunity for young people in Cleveland to get real support this summer to do the important work of getting the word out about the redistributing amendment & the ways it’ll determine our state’s future - for fair & safe elections, and reproductive freedom
