Today Ward 7 @CleCityCouncil member @stephaniehowse met with about 40 members of the East Side @HomelessCongres to listen to their concerns. Earlier this week Council President @Griff4CLE6 met with the West Side Homeless Congress. #HomelessCongress #HomelessLivesMatter
The @HomelessCongres presented @CleCityCouncil President Blaine Griffin & Ward 7 Council Member Stephanie Howse with a copy of the Congress’ proposed Homeless Bill of Rights.
This is the proposed Homeless Bill of Rights by #Cleveland’s #Homeless Congress. It is modeled after similar bills adopted by state legislatures in Rhode Island, Connecticut & Illinois. #HomelessBillofRights #HomelessLivesMatter
@LegalAidCLE lawyer Michael Russell & interns spent countless hours working with the @HomelessCongres to review similar legislation in other states. They helped us deconstruct the complex legalese. This does not imply an endorsement from Legal Aid.

This is going to be a long thread.🧵 #Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost released BCI case files from an officer-involved shooting last year in #Parma. He touted “full transparency” from the @OhioAG’s office. @DaveYostOH redacted names of 3 #SWAT officers who fired their weapons.
In June 2021, Kevin Giesel was shot & killed by officers from the Southwest Enforcement Bureau (SEB) #SWAT team during a 10-hour standoff at his house in #Parma. Giesel was a 64-year-old #Vietnam #veteran. He got into a shootout with #police officers. cleveland.com/court-justice/…
To be clear, I am in no way questioning why officers used deadly force or why a grand jury declined to indict the #police officers. I’m questioning the @OhioAG’s lack of transparency at a time when confidence in law enforcement is at an all-time low both in #Ohio & nationwide.

@ProsMikeOMalley I have a lot of respect for you & the leadership you’ve shown on the Justice Center Executive Steering Committee. But you were out of line at today’s Cleveland City Council Safety Committee meeting. It was not personally or professionally about you, sir.
The same council member has been asking the same questions of elected & unelected officials for months going back to the February budget hearings. She wants to focus on crime prevention. They aren’t “gotcha questions.” Nobody can answer her questions because the city & county…
… doesn’t operate that way. She & another passionate council member have asked for working groups to be created to look at things like crime prevention & police car deployment plans. I agree @ProsMikeOMalley that everyone should conduct themselves with decorum.

@cledocumenters @ADAMHSBoardCC @CLEpolice @NEOMEDedu @cledocumenters @NeighborUpCle: I emailed the same PowerPoint presentation about the emergency commitment process to almost 2 dozen of my fellow @CityofCleveland Mental Health Response Advisory Committee (MHRAC) members on Feb. 2 & Feb. 3, 2021. My emails were ignored. #MHRAC
@cledocumenters @ADAMHSBoardCC @CLEpolice @NEOMEDedu @NeighborUpCle @CityofCleveland I mixed up the dates. I sent this email to 22 MHRAC members on Feb. 1, 2021. They work for @CLEpolice, @ADAMHSBoardCC, @NEOMEDedu, @TheJusticeDept, @cle_monitorteam & other organizations. One person thanked me. But no action was taken. See the last paragraph. #MHRAC #PoliceReform
@cledocumenters @ADAMHSBoardCC @CLEpolice @NEOMEDedu @NeighborUpCle @CityofCleveland @TheJusticeDept @cle_monitorteam On Feb. 3, 2021, I replied all to an email from the @CLEpolice Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Coordinator. He retired last week. The email was sent to 23 people including a deputy police chief. I included a 3-page document that I created. Nobody replied. #MHRAC #PoliceReform

The @CityofCleveland Mental Health Response Advisory Committee met hours before @cory_shaffer's story was published about how @CLEpolice officers were disciplined in the Tanisha Anderson case. Nobody from the @cle_monitorteam or @USAttyHerdman's office told us about this.
The City of Cleveland Mental Health Response Advisory Committee (MHRAC) was created in 2015 as a mandate of the consent decree between @TheJusticeDept & @CityofCleveland. Nothing #MHRAC does remotely resembles oversight. We have not had a single discussion about Tanisha Anderson.
I have brought up Tanisha Anderson's death numerous times in an effort to prevent future tragedies. But the subject is off-limits. You have to ask why the #Cleveland #police department doesn't want to prevent a potential future in-custody death. #SayHerName #TanishaAnderson

On July 1, Senators Kirsten #Gillibrand, Senator Chuck #Grassley & Senator Ted #Cruz announced they will offer the bipartisan #Military Justice Improvement Act as an amendment to this year’s National #Defense Authorization Act. gillibrand.senate.gov/news/press/rel… #NDAA #MJIA #PassMJIA
From Senator Gillibrand's press release: "The Military #Justice Improvement Act would professionalize how the #military prosecutes serious crimes by moving the decision over whether to prosecute them to independent, trained, professional military prosecutors." #MJIA #PassMJIA
"Despite years of Congressional reforms, thousands of service members are raped & sexually assaulted every year. In many of those cases, the assailant is someone in the survivor’s own chain of command." -- #military #MST #MilitarySexualTrauma #MJIA #PassMJIA

@UWM This is the pathetic response from University of #Wisconsin, #Milwaukee about senior lecturer retired @usairforce Lt Col Betsy Schoeller's disgusting #Facebook post about Vanessa Guillen's death. #VanessaGuillen #JusticeForVanessaGullien #FireBetsySchoeller @ProtectRDfnders
@UWM #Facebook posts are NOT PRIVATE. In #Ohio, college professors don't get tenure if they talk about "controversial topics" like mental illness concerns or #homeless individuals' #CivilRights on social media. If you don't have a #SocialMedia policy, you should. @ProtectRDfnders
@UWM @ProtectRDfnders: Army soldier Vanessa Guillen's horrific murder been a trigger for countless #veterans suffering from #PTSD from #military sexual #trauma. A reprehensible #Facebook post from fellow veteran Betsy Schoeller has further exacerbated it. #MilitarySexualTrauma
