SUMMARY:Mass Incarceration\, Judges\, and Reentry: An Overview 
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Erika Anthony\, Executive Director\, Ohio Transformation Fund; Crystal Bryant\, Director\, Cuyahoga County Office of Reentry \n\n\n\nThe crisis of mass incarceration and racial inequality continues. Of Ohio’s 45\,000 inmates\, 45% are African American but they comprise only 14% of the population. Judges wield immense power via length of sentence and by fines\, fees\, and bail. Can our current system be reformed?  What local resources exist to address reentry goals for returning citizens?

What’s happening locally?

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Jessie Hill\, Professor\, CWRU Law School; Catrina Otonoga\, Preterm Manager\, Policy and Partnerships \n\n\n\nSince the 1973 Roe v Wade Decision\, abortions have grown increasingly restrictive.  Between 2011 and 2019\, states enacted 483 new abortion restrictions.

SUMMARY:Politics and Polling: What Went Wrong?
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Tom Sutton\, Political Science Professor\, Baldwin Wallace and Director\, Community Research Institute. \n\n\n\nBiden’s margin of victory was half what had been predicted in 2020.  Less than 6% of survey respondents answer phones due to robocalls.  Internet polling samples based on income\, race\, age\, or education\, pose formidable challenges. Much of democracy depends on being able to understand citizen opinions on Covid19\, taxes\, racial justice\, climate change\, immigration\, and other issues.  Should we trust polls in 2021?

SUMMARY:The Pandemic and the Inflation Outlook
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Robert Rich\, Director\, Center for Inflation Research\, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland \n\n\n\nInflation has multiple impacts on our lives and communities\, and it has surged over the past year.

SUMMARY:Fracking\, Radioactive Brine and Icy Roads
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Cheryl Johncox\, Fossil Fuels Organizer\, Sierra Club\, and Ted Auch\, Ph.D.\, Director\, FracTracker Alliance\, Great Lakes Program. \n\n\n\nThe brine that the fracking industry produces as waste is being used on Ohio’s roads as a de-icer. Limited testing indicates the brine contains radioactive concentrations that can pollute soil or become airborne as radioactive dust\, thus contaminating drinking water and agricultural products. This toxic radioactive waste is also disposed of in Class II Injection wells where it can also contaminate groundwater.
