April marks second chance month -- a time to acknowlege the barriers faced by so many people who have paid their debt to society. In Cleveland we've tried to remove some of those barriers through fair hiring programs and marijuana expungement.

Wishing a meaningful celebration to everyone celebrating Passover this week.

Eid Mubarack to all who are ending their fasts. May we find peace & unity during these dark times.

I am proud to endorse Judge William Vodrey in the May primary. He is working to reduce racial and socioeconomic disparities in our justice system because it isn’t just good policy, it’s a moral imperative. Join me and vote for Judge Vodrey April 7- May 5.

Sixty-one years ago, a group of courageous men and women crossed a bridge in Selma, Alabama to make the promise of our nation real. Today, we remember that day as “Bloody Sunday.” Few can speak more eloquently about the events of that day than President Obama did 11 years ago.

Today, our Director of 311, Kate Warren, spent time reading with students at Clark School as we joined communities across the country in celebrating the power of literacy on #ReadAcrossAmericaDay!

Crime is down because mayors, police, community leaders, and fed partners are working in tandem. And that cooperation needs to continue happening no matter who is in the White House. #SOTU

Thank you to everyone who has already joined us for our School Building Reuse Community Listening Sessions! There’s still time to be part of the conversation! 📅⬇️

Statement from @DemMayors on SCOTUS blocking Trump's tariffs:

DMA is so deeply grateful for the leadership of Mayor @JustinMBibb and excited for the next chapter with our new President, Mayor @QuintonLucasKC.

As we wrap up #OhioLovesTransit Week, it’s STILL people over cars. That’s why I’ve appointed riders to the RTA board & prioritized projects that make it safer & more convenient for people to use public transit. Check out our Cleveland Moves Plan.⬇️ storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/4627d2…

Today marks a historic step forward for our city. The City of Cleveland and the United States Department of Justice have jointly filed a motion to conclude the Consent Decree and transition to full local accountability for the Cleveland Division of Police.

Stephanie Tubbs Jones broke through glass ceilings in Ohio: becoming the state's first Black woman elected to Congress in 1998 & first Black woman county prosecutor in 1991. She's remembered for her personal warmth, sharp mind, & abiding commitment to hometown. RIP Congresswoman.

Have a blessed Ramadan! I wish all who are observing a meaningful fast.

Ramadan Mubarak to all who are observing in Cleveland and around the world. 🌙✨

Rev. Jesse Jackson inspired generations to fight for justice, dignity, and opportunity. May his legacy remind us that faith isn’t passive. It calls us to act, to serve, and to keep building a more perfect union.

Happy 216 Day! 🏙️❤️ Cleveland love runs deep—what’s your favorite thing about the Land? #216Day

This #PresidentsDay, I’m thinking about how fortunate I was to observe a future president up close. Nearly 20 years ago, I interned for then U.S. Senator Barack Obama. He gave me advice I’ll carry with me forever: “You should aim to do something… not just be anything.”

In his 102 years, Robert P. Madison has seen a lot. He fought racism to get into Case’s architecture school & founded Ohio’s first Black-owned architecture firm. His iconic work ranges from the Great Lakes Science Center to the U.S. Embassy in Senegal. #BlackHistoryMonth
