Yesterday we released a report about how ending #cashbail can make our communities healthier and stronger — and OH legislation that would go a long way to doing so.

This was delivered to my house by courier less than 24 hours after the polls closed. Councilman Griffin has told me he'll impose the arcane "Unit Rule" to force members to vote for him or be expelled from the caucus. This is not the vision of change Clevelanders just voted for.
Scene reviewed hundreds of Cleveland police use of force reports obtained after suing the city. What did the data show, and what does it tell us? Read the six-part series here https://t.co/KBqFja2LvV
Cleveland Twitter, thanks for getting out the message that City Council should not meddle with our democratic decision on Issue 24. Council did not pass the resolution proposed to condemn it: the people's voice is what matters! https://t.co/MunZvNfsuL
Plz RT: Flood City Council's phones with calls to vote NO on their emergency resolution against Issue 24. The voters should decide. Sign up here and you'll get an email w/ phone numbers and call script: https://t.co/2OTWkdMsJi
Cash bail effectively creates a two-tiered system of justice in which people who can afford their release go home to their families & those without financial resources are forced to unnecessarily suffer behind bars. #BailReformNow@Rob_McColley@ufindlay

Over the past week I have heard troubling rhetoric against Issue 24.
Not only have police and councilors been using fear mongering language, but some of the criticisms are false.
So I want to break down what is fact & fiction here
A🧵:
.@CleCityCouncil really about to formally come out in opposition to Issue 24? @KerryMcCormack1, as a constituent of yours, I expect you to vote against this resolution. CDP has achieved, what, 37% of the consent decree metrics and people talk like its been a success.
