How many license plate readers are in Cuyahoga County? Roughly 1,700, according to new reporting, and they’re spread across government and private networks. We dug into it on Today in Ohio: https://t.co/15dKF1mKiG

NEW: Dr. Amy Acton has officially won the Democratic nomination for Ohio governor!

Congrats, Amy—onwards to November.

[Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) @TheBlackCaucus]

The indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center is baseless and politically motivated. 

For decades, they’ve fought hate and extremism—now they’re being targeted for it. 

The weaponization of our justice system against political opponents is dangerous and unacceptable. We will not be intimidated, and accountability will come.

[Dr. Amy Acton @amyactonoh]

We outraised a billionaire. Here’s why.

My campaign is powered by the people. It’s rooted in the promise of making Ohioans’ lives more affordable after decades of special interest leadership that has done nothing but take us backwards. I’m running for governor because I refuse to look the other way.

WHAT CHARTER 115 DOES

Charter Section 115 ensures:

Independent civilian oversight
Community participation in accountability
Systems that exist beyond federal oversight

It’s not temporary—it’s permanent by design.
That’s what Cleveland voters chose.

#HonorTheVote

[BLM Cleveland @BLM_216]

That’s why the question isn’t just “Can it end?”

The question is: Are systems ready without it?

CONSENT DECREE CONTEXT

Cleveland has been under a Consent Decree since 2015.

It came after a DOJ finding of unconstitutional policing.

Progress has been made—but federal reports still identify ongoing issues.

[BLM Cleveland @BLM_216]

That’s not duplication. That’s checks and balances.
Oversight exists because previous systems failed.

#Accountability

[BLM Cleveland @BLM_216]

“TOO MUCH OVERSIGHT?”

Some are saying Cleveland has “too many oversight groups.”

Let’s look at the facts:

Each body has a role:

CPC = community voice + policy

OPS = investigations

CPRB = case review

Monitor = federal compliance

[BLM Cleveland @BLM_216]

Its purpose: ensure lasting accountability beyond the Consent Decree.
This is long-term structural reform, not temporary.

What is Issue 24?
Passed by Cleveland voters in 2021 with almost 60% support, Issue 24 established Charter Section 115 to strengthen civilian police oversight.
It responds to federal findings of unconstitutional policing.

[Prison Policy Initiative @PrisonPolicy]

Hundreds of girls in the US are confined by the juvenile justice system for “status offenses,” like running away or truancy.

Confinement for these offenses is particularly troubling because those behaviors tend to be responses to abuse.

More care, less confinement.
