Congratulations to Charles Jackson! Last week's hearing was such a long time coming. I'm so happy to be able to work for and with you on this journey.

Nothing can bring back the decades Charles Jackson spent in prison instead of living as a free, innocent man. But Monday’s wrongful imprisonment declaration recognizes the shocking injustice and losses that Charles endured and exposes the deep flaws of our legal system. FG+G stands with Charles, and all our clients, to demand justice.

"Everyone, whether they are imprisoned or not, is a person."

Hearing officers use “inmate” as an insult reminded me to call incarcerated people — including myself — by our names.

"Public records: Bill Mason told prosecutor in Cuyahoga County probe that Mike O’Malley would face primary opponent if investigation into Executive Armond Budish wasn’t dropped"

Mason, who was the county’s prosecutor office from 1999 to 2012, made the comment to his former employee Paul Soucie, a supervisor of the economic crimes and corruption unit who was overseeing the investigation, according to a summary of the exchange included in the documents.

Congratulations and thank you to all of the incredible people and organizations who worked so hard to get this ballot measure passed - seeking oversight, accountability, and change in the CDP.
Citizens for a Safer Cleveland, Latonya Goldsby, Abdul-Kareem Nafi, Black Lives Matter Cleveland, SURJ NEO, and so many more.

In a city with a long history of horrific police violence, a new system to put citizens in charge is on the ballot—and drawing a furious backlash.
