Please sign up to support Greater Cleveland Congregations at the Cuyahoga County Council meeting on Tuesday, June 20 at 4:30 pm.

Don’t forget to also sign up on the form below so the GCC folks know you are coming

Pre-Trial Justice Team to Present at the June 20th Cuyahoga County Council Meeting 

GCC’s Pre-Trial Justice Team is working on reducing jail before trial in Cuyahoga County. On June 20th, it will present to the County Council its research showing that jail before trial does not increase public safety and does hurt people who are presumed innocent. The team will ask the Council to reduce the number of beds they fund (through a smaller jail or renovations) and to fund pre-trial services that will improve the safety of all.

The team would like GCC leaders to join them at the meeting. Wear your GCC t-shirts and/or buttons if have them! Public comment begins at 5pm at the County Administration Building, 2079 E 9th Street. If you are attending, please be there by 4:30pm. (Parking in the County lot will be free if you ask for validation.)
