EAST CLEVELAND -- Imperial Women leader Kathy Wray Coleman is organizing a rally to stop violence against women set for 5 p.m. Wednesday afternoon at the corner of Shaw and Hayden Avenues.

The rally will focus on the three women recently found murdered by suspect Michael Madison. Among the rally headliners will be members of the Deskins family -- where Angela Deskins was named one of the three women found murdered last weekend in East Cleveland.

Also attending will be Yvonne Pointer, whose 14-year-old daughter was raped and murdered on her way home from school decades ago, and the family of Christine Malone, who was raped and murdered on Cleveland's East Side. Her body was found in March.

"We are inviting all people across race and gender lines to join us for the Stop Violence Against Women and Find the Missing rallies, vigil and march," said Coleman, whose group was founded following the murders of 11 Black women on Imperial Avenue by convicted serial killer Anthony Sowell.

"Violence against women, without regard to race, ethnicity or socioeconomic status, has escalated in the Greater Cleveland area and women now are even more at risk," she said.

Other sponsoring groups include the Oppressed People's Nation, the Carl Stokes Brigade, Stop Targeting Ohio's Poor, and  Read more at Pat Galbincea, The Plain Dealer

Chief and unfair Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo loses authority-Part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption: New Ohio law on seeking possible removal of a municipal court judge in a case for bias or conflict via the filing of an affidavit of prejudice takes authority to decide from chief Cuyahoga County Presiding Judge John Russo, other chief common pleas judges in Ohio, and hands it to the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, who also determines affidavits of prejudice filed against common pleas, probate, juvenile, domestic relations, and state appellate court judges....Most affidavits of prejudice are denied regardless of the merits and some judges complained of will retaliate, data show... Community activists, led by Cleveland activist Kathy Wray Coleman of the Imperial Women Coalition, lobbied the Cleveland NAACP for support and asked state legislators via state Rep Bill Patmon (D-10) of Cleveland to change the law but wanted a panel of judges and others to decide when a judge in Ohio is disqualified from hearing a case for bias or conflict....Coleman says she has since been further harassed by Chief Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo, who is White and leads a racist and sexist common pleas court fueled with corruption, malicious prosecutions, excessive criminal bonds, ineffective assistance of counsel to poor and Black defendants, and the mass incarceration of the Black community....By www.clevelandurbannews.com and www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com, Ohio's most read digital Black newspapers....This is part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption
