CLEVELAND, Ohio-Women's March Cleveland is planning a Women’s March on Sat, Oct 8 to join in with a national action.

Marches are planned across the country aned Women’s March Cleveland's march is  is Saturday at 1:30 p.m. at Market Square Park across from the West Side MarketatWest 25th St and Lorain Ave.

Women's March Cleveland  organizer Kathy Wray Coleman said the event will host politicians, community activists and doctors, who will share personal stories about  violence against women and abortion, among other women'srights issues.Here is the Facebook link for Womne's March Cleveland's event where hundreds have already responded: https://www.facebook.com/event...

Coleman said she’s hoping to energize women to vote.

“We believe they’re going to push House Bill 704 through, which outlaws abortion access,” Coleman said. “They’re coming after us.”

In July, Republican State Rep. Gary Click, who represents Fremont and Tiffin, introduced HB 704, known as the Personhood Act. If passed, the law would declare the personhood of an individual from the moment of conception. Abortion-rights activists have criticized similar personhood laws in other states, saying they could be used to deny access to abortion.

Beyond reproductive rights, Saturday's march will focus on violence against women. Sandra Hardwick, the mother of Britney Hardwick, the 22-year-old Cleveland women murdered two years ago, will talk about her daughter’s unsolved case, Coleman said.

In 2020, homicides of Black women and girls in Ohio doubled from the year before, as reported in the Guardian newspaper. Coleman said activists want 50 more detectives focused on solving homicides that have gone cold involving Black women in particualr.

“They are not doing enough for women. And why? Because we let them do it,” she said. “But if we vote them out, maybe we can get some help.”

State Senator Nickie Antonio, who serves western Cuyahoga County, Cuyahoga County Councilwoman Cheryl Stephens and State Rep. Jeffrey Crossman, of Parma, Brooklyn Heights and Cuyahoga Heights are expected to speak, Coleman said. All three are Democrats. There will also be a presentation about women in Iran and their fight for freedom, justice and equality.

As of Friday morning, more than 600 people had expressed interest in the event on Facebook for Womne's March Cleveland's 1:30 pm rally and march on Market Square

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
