CLEVELAND, Ohio- Faith leaders from  greater Cleveland and Akron, along with U.S. Congressional Candidate Nina Turner, special guests actor Danny Glover and Dr. Cornel West, a scholar and motivational speaker, will gather for a a special interfaith community breakfast as the Aug. 3 special primary election for the open congressional seat in Ohio's 11th congressional district nears. 

Breakfast will be served Mon., Aug 2, buffet style, at 7:30 am with remarks at 8:00 am. The event is free and open to the public, though participants must R.S.V.P. at  this link at Ninaturner.com and will, in turn, receive an almost immediate email with the date, time and place of the event. 

"As election day nears, we want to use this opportunity to lift Nina Turner up and help inspire others to help us across the finish line," said Kara Turrentine, the deputy manager of the Nina Turner campaign. "Your prayers, thoughts and devotions will help guide the campaign through the final hours."


The Interfaith breakfast event is one of a series of events in the Cleveland and Akron areas leading up to the special primary election on Tuesday.


U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders will travel to Ohio and will join Turner at events in both Akron and Cleveland on Saturday while also headlining a get-out-the-vote rally on Saturday morning in Cleveland alongside other prominent national Democrats and local voices.


The GOTV rally will take place on Sat., July 31 at the Agora Theater on Euclid Avenue on Cleveland's largely Black east side and will feature Turner, U.S. Congresswoman Cori Bush of Missouri, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, Dr. West, and more, including local leaders such as Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson and state Rep. Juanita Brent of Cleveland.


The rally, which will also feature musical artists and will include community activists, will begin at 11:30 am and will be followed by a 2 pm march to the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections at East 29th Street and Euclid Avenue, the Turner campaign said in a press release Thursday. Doors open at 10:30 am.


Jackson is a four term Black mayor of Cleveland and a longtime Turner ally.


A Black Democrat and former Ohio senator who was Sanders' campaign surrogate and who co-chaired his presidential campaign for president last year, Turner 53, is the front runner among 13 candidates competing in an Aug 3 special Democratic primary election for the congressional seat vacated in early March by former congresswoman Marcia L. Fudge, who is now the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and a member of President Joe Biden's cabinet.


Turner and her campaign team are working to keep her closest opponent, Cuyahoga County Councilwoman and County Democratic Party Chair Shontel Brown, from gaining ground in the multi million dollar congressional race.


Turner has raised some $4.6 million, more money than any of her opponents.


The winner of the crowded Democratic primary in Ohio's 11th congressional district will face the Republican primary winner for a Nov. 2 general election.


Ohio's largely Black 11th congressional district includes most of Cleveland and its eastern suburbs of Cuyahoga County and a majority Black pocket of Akron and staggering sections of Akron's Summit County suburbs.


Both Cleveland and Cuyahoga County are Democratic strongholds run primarily by Democrats.

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
