The Northeast Ohio Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign, which is under the leadership of Larry Bresler, will host its national venue where members and activists of the regional and national group will rally with local grassroots organizations and others in Cleveland, Oh. from June 5 to June 8 beginning with a rally and march on June 5 at 1 pm in front of the Anthony Sowell house on Imperial Ave. in Cleveland where the remains of 11 Black women were found late last year.
The National Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign was founded to unify poor people across racial lines and to address issues impacting the poor in areas such as homelessness, education, housing, justice system issues, safety and healthcare. This year's agenda includes a "March for the Dream" as the group has traveled to over 18 cities in the United States to promote the dream for equality and equal opportunity for all people pushed by the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. beginning in New Orleans. After leaving Cleveland members will gather with other national groups in Detroit for a U.S. Social Forum that is expected to draw more that 20 thousand activists and others from across the nation.
Sowell is in custody and awaiting trial on numerous counts of aggravated murder, rape and kidnapping. The celebrated case has generated national attention and the June 5 rally will address the issue of safety as to poor people, including the 11 murdered Black women.
Speakers for the Sowell House Rally of June 5 include the following:
-Cheri Honkala, national organizer of the National Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign

-Rallies on June 8 on Cleveland's West Side of town, including near the location where a 28-year-old woman's naked body was found on Cleveland' I-90 highway earlier this year and branded a "deer" by Cleveland police

A major focus of the activities is to promote a universal agenda designed to ensure equal opportunity and equal justice for all.
