 Women's March Cleveland will join cities nationwide and Women's March National in Washington, D.C. for a reproductive rights rally and march on Oct 2 Cleveland's event 
 begins at noon on Market Square Park across from the West Side Market at the corner of W 25th Street and Lorain Avenue. (Contact. Tel (216) 659-0473. Email: editor@clevelandurbannews.com). CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE FACEBOOK PAGE FOR THE UPCOMING RALLY AND MARCH IN CLEVELAND, OHIO ON OCTOBER 2, 2021

Led by Women's march National out of D.C., the national event, with some 560 marches planned nationwide on Oct 2,  comes in the midst of the recent Texas state law  that bans abortion after six weeks of pregnancy and the attack on Roe v. Wade by the conservative right and state legislatures across the country.  The Women's March will convene mass mobilization events next month in city's nationwide to protest this controversial new abortion law in Texas and to fight against such type of laws popping up in other states.

 No doubt, Ohio is at risk for such a proposed law that might be offered by lawmakers in its state legislature.  In fact, some six states have introduced similar bills since the Texas law that strips away the reproductive freedoms of women and girls. Ohio tried this previously with the heartbeat bill and its restrictions on abortion and later lost in the courts. A woman's right to choose what happens with her body, whether in Ohio or elsewhere, is a constitutional right per the 1973  landmark Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade. that made abortion legal nationwide.  

Why our fight matters: The Texas law bans abortions after six weeks and does not exempt cases of rape or incest. Considered one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the U.S. since the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, the new law has incited widespread outrage among abortion-rights advocates.
Details: Women's March and over 90 other organizations, including Planned Parenthood and Naral Pro-Choice, are organizing a national call to mobilize on Oct. 2 and "defend our reproductive rights." We will hold marches in "every single state" ahead of the Supreme Court reconvening on Oct. 4. to  hear oral arguments in a precedent setting abortion rights case out of Jacksonville, Mississippi. 
Also at issue is violence against women and the attack on voting rights and on Civil Rights in general against women, Blacks, people of color, poor people, and others across the country. We will fight for the voting, civil and reproductive rights of women in Cleveland, in greater Cleveland, in Ohio, and in the country. And we want jobs, and equal pay as well as a minimum wage and access to quality healthcare. We want safe and affordable housing, criminal justice reform, educational equity and fair redistricting of congressional and state house and senate districts in Ohio. We call for police to value Black lives as if they were their own, and we support the LGBTQ community. We denounce mass incarceration, racism, sexism and discrimination in any form or fashion.
A list of speakers for the event is forthcoming. In addition to the host group of Women's March Cleveland, other participating groups for Women's March Cleveland's Oct 2, 2021 march include International Women's Day March Cleveland, Planned Parenthood at the national level, Imperial Women Coalition, Black Women's PAC of greater Cleveland, Cuyahoga County Democratic Women's Caucus, National Congress of Black Women greater Cleveland chapter, Greater Cleveland Independent Black Journalists, Refusefacism, Clevelandurbannews.com, Brickhouse Wellness Center, Carl Stokes Brigade, End Poverty Now Cleveland, and more.
The inaugural women's march took off in 2017, days after then President Donald Trump's inauguration, and Cleveland, a largely Black major American city, was among hundreds of cities that took part. More specifically, some five million women in Cleveland and in cities across the country, led by the national women's march out of Washington D.C., took to the streets for the first women's march to march against Trump's racist and anti-female rhetoric during the 2016 presidential campaign and to fight for women's rights in general, the largest single day protest in American history.
Women's March Cleveland has been consistent in hosting an anniversary women's march each January since the first women's march in January of  2017 where 15,000 women across Northeast Ohio took to the streets of downtown Cleveland to march for equality. We also do intermittent rallies leading up to the anniversary each year, including the upcoming Oct 2, 2021 rally and march for reproductive and Civil Rights.

Why, with the conflict with the Cleveland Bazaar, wasn't a different, more appropriate location for all concerned, chosen?

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
