CLEVELANDURBANNEWS.COM-CLEVELAND, Ohio- Women's March Cleveland activists, who with support from area community activist groups, spearheaded rallies in Cleveland in support of women Syrian refugees and their families and called for an end to the civil war in  Syria, are siding with Congress in its stance against President Trump's strategy of hastily withdrawing U.S. military troops from Northern Syria (Go to Cleveland19News   for the full story and video on the rally led by Coleman on a demand for the end of the civil war in Northern Syria and support and protection of Syrian refugees and their families).

The president has called on other countries  to stand up and fight Isis in Syria along with the U.S., though he says the U.S. has won its battle there, the House voting overwhelmingly last Wednesday to condemn his decision to withdraw American troops from Syria, a non-binding resolution that passed 354-60, and in a bipartisan fashion.

The Congressional resolution sasy Turkey should cease its military action in Syria and demands a serious and comprehensive plan for the withdrawal of American troops from the Arab nation.

 U.S. officials have accused Syrian President Bashar Assad of being a war criminal. 

Meanwhile, Turkey military forces continue to bomb villages with women and children in Northern Syria

 A longtime Black activist of Cleveland and a community organizer, Coleman, who organized rallies in Cleveland for Women's March Cleveland relative to the war in Syria and the mistreatment of women Syrian refugees and their families, said that Women's March Cleveland activists " join Congress in condemning the president's military withdrawal strategies in Northern Syria and continue to also demand a prudent end to the war and the support and protection of women Syrian refugees and their families." (Go to Cleveland19News   for the full story and video on the rally led by Coleman on a demand for the end of the civil war in Northern Syria and support and protection of Syrian refugees and their families).

 The war began in 2011 and during the first year alone an estimated 400,000 Syrians were killed.

"We don't think we should go bomb a country and then allow children to be held hostage before a government that is disenfranchising them,"  Coleman told Cleveland 19 Action News at a rally she led on Public Square in downtown Cleveland on the Syrian war and U.S air strikes.
In addition to Coleman, the other speakers at that rally included  activists Shayne Terry, Lucinda Garmus, Cheryl Lessin, the Rev. Pamela Pinkney-Butts, Arnold Shurn, Juanita Brent, who is now a state Rep from Cleveland, Melissa Svigelj-Smith, Genevieve Mitchell, Kari Oatman Nicholson, and Valerie Robinson.
Cleveland activists, led by Women's March Cleveland, had been calling for President Trump and the federal government to allow more than 75,000 Syrian refugees into the country. 

"What's going on over in Syria is just completely intolerable and we have to accept more of them here because there's no end in sight for what's going on over there," said Lucinda Garmus at one of the rallies in Cleveland.

Ohio Supreme Court strips chief Cuyahoga County judge of power: 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 and Administrative 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
