  • Happy Dog Takes on Redistricting

    Happy Dog Takes on Redistricting
    Aug 27 2024
    As the legal battles over redistricting in the state drag on, Ohioans will have an opportunity to vote this November on an amendment that aims to put an end to gerrymandering. What does that mean for Ohioans? The citizen-led constitutional amendment put forth by Citizens Not Politicians seeks to replace the current Ohio Redistricting Commission with an independent body selected directly by citizens. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has voiced opposition to the amendment, but acknowledged the need for a new political mapmaking system.\r\n\r\nJoin the City Club for a Happy Dog \"Happy Hour\" as we take on redistricting. Dr. Kareem Crayton with the Brennan Center and Retired Chief Justice Maureen O\'Connor will weigh in on the current state of redistricting in the state and outline the goals of the upcoming amendment on the November ballot. Moderated by Signal Cleveland\'s Government Reporter Nick Castele.

    Shaping the Success of The Circle
    Aug 23 2024
    University Circle is Cleveland's center of arts, culture, wellness, and education with a growing population and world-renowned institutions. It has the potential to help fuel Cleveland's economic future, but such questions remain as "Who has access to this district?" "How well known are we, really?" and "Is The Circle staying relevant in a changing world?"\r\n\r\nIn 2023, Kate Borders was named President of University Circle Inc. She is a nationally recognized leader in urban development and place management who brings more than 20 years of experience to the University Circle neighborhood. She began in Milwaukee, Wisconsin as the Executive Director of East Town Association, then assumed the role as the first CEO of the newly formed Downtown Fresno Partnership. Prior to joining UCI, she was the President & CEO of the Downtown Tempe Authority in Tempe, Arizona.\r\n\r\nJoin the City Club for an open, honest discussion with University Circle President Kate Borders about the hard work and community effort needed to shape the success of The Circle, and Cleveland.

  • Enforcing Civil Rights in Schools Today

    Enforcing Civil Rights in Schools Today
    Aug 16 2024
    The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) vigilantly enforces federal civil rights laws in schools and other recipients of Department of Education federal funding throughout the nation-resolving case investigations, publishing policy resources, and providing school and community technical assistance. In a recent report, OCR reported the highest volume of civil rights complaints in its history, receiving 19,201 complaints in 2023. And it shows no signs of slowing. Already in 2024, OCR has seen a 26% increase in complaints compared to this time last year. Rising partisan tensions, the Israel-Hamas war, and attacks on LGBTQ+ rights are some of the issues rising to the forefront--particularly in colleges and universities. Along with increasing caseloads, there have been persistent calls for increased funding for OCR from more than 90 civil rights groups. What work is being done to ensure all students have equal access to education?\r\n\r\nCatherine E. Lhamon is the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Education. She was nominated by President Barack Obama in June 2013, and was unanimously confirmed by Senate in August 2013. Until January 2021, she chaired the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, to which President Obama appointed her in 2016, and served as Legal Affairs Secretary to California Governor Gavin Newsom.
