WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Marcia L. Fudge (OH-11), a Warrensville Heights Democrat who leads Ohio's largely Black 11th congressional district, which includes the city of Cleveland and several of its eastern suburbs, will host a closed-door session on violence with some 300 high school students across her congressional district on Friday, October 16 from 10:30 am -noon at  the Cleveland Public Library Nottingham Branch Auditorium, 17109 Lakeshore Blvd, in Cleveland, according to a press statement issued yesterday.


Fudge will discuss pervasive violence in Northeast Ohio,  and will announce a new initiative aimed at providing area youth a voice in legislative activities, community programming, and other local prevention initiatives.

The gathering is closed to the media, said  Fudge, an effort on her part to give young people an opportunity to express their views freely.


She will ultimately choose 12 students from her congressional district  to serve on a youth council on violence. 

Fudge said that the prevalence of violent crime, including, gun violence, domestic violence,

and rape and sexual violence, has reached an all-time high in cities like Cleveland. 

This violence, she said, is affecting every faction of our community, especially the youth, 


The federal lawmaker said that conversations are needed to help develop effective solutions for those greatly affected by the prevailing issue.


Media , however, can interview Fudge on the issue prior to the meeting beginning at 

9:30 am.

While violence against women and children is escalating in greater Cleveland, including drive-by shootings in Cleveland in recent months that have claimed the lives of three children under the age of six-year-old, and police murders in Cleveland of unarmed Blacks, including 12-year-old Tamir Rice, young people have not been called to the forum to give their viewpoints.

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
