CLEVELAND URBAN NEWS.COM-CLEVELAND, Ohio-Civil Rights groups and community activists will rally from 11 am-1 pm in Cleveland near the office of Republican U.S. Sen Rob Portman against The confirmation of controversial Republican U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions for U.S. attorney general.

The event, a protest near Portman's Cleveland district office at the federal building on East 9th Street in downtown Cleveland, is sponsored by the Ohio Revolution group and the Cuyahoga County Progressive Caucus. 

Portman is a center-right Republican born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he still lives today, when not in Washington, D.C.

He won reelection last year favorably over former Ohio governor Ted Strickland, the Democratic nominee.

Nominated by President Donald Trump to succeed outgoing attorney general Loretta Lynch, the nation's first Black female attorney general who worked under former President Barack Obama, the country's first Black president, Sessions' nomination has Civil Rights organizations across the country up in arms, including the NAACP, the nation's most renown Civil Rights organization.


The NAACP is upset over Sessions' allegedly hostile attitude toward Civil Rights and the Voting Rights Act, which was weakened by a Supreme Court decision in 2013.

National NAACP President and CEO Cornell William Brooks and five other NAACP members were arrested following a sit-in on Jan 3 at the Mobile, Alabama office of Sessions, who says he has supported criminal justice reforms and a few other Civil Rights initiatives as a federal lawmaker.

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
