Where: Cleveland NAACP headquarters in Cleveland at 2131 Stokes Blvd (Near Euclid Ave. and Stokes Blvd. down from John Hay High School)

Why: To voice opposition to Mr. Forbe's support of Cuyahoga County prosecutor candidate Tim McGinty in the midst of his record of racism and hostility against the Black community as a former assistant county prosecutor and prior judge, including prosecuting innocent Black men on bogus charges of raping White women that later recant and having his orders to imprison Black, men and harass White and Cherokee Indian Women and community activists repeatedly overturned on appeal (Note: Mr. McGinty also issued an arrest warrant for police to storm the family home of then 16-year old teen Brandon McCloud over a pizza where police shot the unarmed teen 12 times and killed him, and after bragging on the police radio that they intended to kill somebody that day).

The protest and press conference are also to seek to reengage Cleveland NAACP President George Forbes and Cleveland NAACP officials on the organization's mission to promote issues of public concern for the betterment of the Black community and to highlight what they have not done including the failure to speak up relative to negligence by Cleveland police and others as to the Imperial Ave. Murders, illegal foreclosures by common pleas judges and county officials to steal Black people's homes to hand to friends and rich banks and mortgage companies, the theft of Black babies to hand or sell to affluent White by the Cuyahoga County Department of Child and Family Services, and the malicious prosecutions, illegal jailing and police misconduct relative to Black men, women and girls.

Speakers include Criminal Defense Attorney Michael Nelson, Community Activists Ada Averyhart, Marva Patterson, Roz McAllister, Brett Jackson, Kathy Wray Coleman and Angelique Cunningham, and immediate family members of some of the 11 women murdered by serial killer Anthony Sowell at his Imperial Ave home in Cleveland, including those whose loved ones were among the six women raped and strangled by Sowell. These six women were murdered by Sowell after he was released by Cleveland police on rape complaint filed in 20o8 (Note: Sowell was not prosecuted until 2009, after all of the 11 women were found dead and their bodies dismembered at his home on Imperial Ave. on Cleveland's predominantly Black east side).
