THE BROWN REPORT Creating History, One Article at a Time! Catching Up with Councilman Michael Dudley Sr. Candidate for Mayor, Garfield Heights, OH Garfield Heights, OHIO. It's very important as a city, we bring to an end the divisiveness and division, that continues to divide Garfield Heights. This divisiveness has continued to hold our city from moving forward. A lack of understanding of cultural differences is one of the many problems plaguing our community. This can be healed through good leadership. I strongly believe it's vital that we unify our city and bring to an end the division that holds Garfield Heights back. The majority of the people don't like the chaos and confusion. They want peace and promises kept; to know that someone's serving in their best interests. If we're to make Garfield Height a place where young professionals want to move and raise families, we must give them a reason to want to come. We must get rid of youth loitering on corners, and in front of businesses. We must give our residents safe places to shop and have fun. We can build a great recreational family facility. This can be done. All of our young people need a place to go during non-school hours. We can't afford to continue to push them from one corner to another. Good schools, great recreation and safe neighborhoods are vital to our growth and stability.
"Iwould like to see Police Officers not just work in Garfield, but want to live here and raise their families in Garfield Heights".
Dudley is the Councilman of Garfield WARD ONE. He is the Senior Councilperson of Garfield Heights. He is a Mayoral Candidate for Election 2021. Monthly you can read about Candidate's Dudley plans for Garfield Heights. Join Team Dudley and get on board to WIN!
We have to bring and strengthen the business industry and retail within the city of Garfield Hts. This will relieve some of the tax burden off of the homeowners and families. We must strengthen the mom and pop businesses. This is vital to the community growth. I want the Business districts to become family oriented. We should see families walking, talking, shopping and spending time together. I can remember when Garfield Heights WARD ONE, was referred to as the Cleveland part of Garfield, the other side and more. We worked hard to change the perception, and built a strong viable community, which we have today. It was done through good leadership, and working together. I believe when you're elected to represent and serve the people, it means everyone regardless of their "Race, Religion, Nationality, Creed, Gender, rather they Vote or not. We should be one big family, you take the good with the bad, and you do what is right and what is necessary to benefit the collective whole. His name is Michael Dudley Sr. He wants to be your next Mayor, Garfield Heights.

SHUT UP FREDDIE! Why Do I VOTE? by Freddie Mayes
As the election draws near, I see all the engagement on social media which is great as long as it produces actual action at the polls. I also see the misguided, the ignorance, the lies, and the hypocrisy enough to make you want to give up. At times, I have asked myself why even try - people don’t get it. My people don’t care. I get tired and say I give up; this battle is too big to be won. I have been preaching about voting for years; passion has been tested by this thing we call life. None of us are immune to it. Yet through my own trials and tribulations, I still could not walk away from trying to serve my people. I have learned over the years to pick and choose my battles. I have learned that I have power to impact my orbit - meaning the folks in my world. I did not give up. I redirected my energy to those I could directly impact. Then I came across this post that spoke to my spirit. I was reminded why I vote, why I care, and why I should never forget.
Never forget what our Forefathers and Mothers endured. I have to quote this verbatim. The post had a picture of an elderly black woman sitting in a chair staring at it. It read: “She Wasn’t Smart Enough to Vote Because She Couldn’t Pass A Simple Voters Registration Test, For Example: *How Many Bubbles Is in A Bar of Soap, *How Many Drops of Water Is in a Cup, *How Long Does It Take A Ray of Sun Light to Reach the Surface of the Earth. *Are You Smart Enough to Pass This Voters Registration Test?" *This Is Why I Vote. The History of Black Treatment in America." This spoke to me. This spoke to my spirit to never forget. Never forget what they endured, the humiliation, the dehumanization, and endless atrocities they endured we could never imagine. Never forget they saw no end to the many storms they were in. This lasted generation after generation. 246 Years of Slavery 1619-1865 Never Forget! 99 Years of Jim Crow Laws 1865-1964 Never Forget! 86 Years of Lynching 1882-1986 Never Forget! 14 Years of Fighting for Civil Rights 1954-1968 Never Forget! 400 Years of Oppression that this reverberates through our community today. So for me, I will never forget! How can we forget about the pain? How can we have the audacity to turn our nose up at voting? Heck yes, people died to give you access to VOTE! I hear folks say we need a new system. No new system coming, it was not built for us but we do have the power to make it work for us. Let's be clear - VOTE! VOTING is our power to change those things against us! To protest and not cast your VOTE is useless. You can BEMAD, but what the heck are you doing about your madness? Do you want to be mad? Do you had a reason to be mad? BEMAD about the injustice we face today BEMAD about the inequality BEMAD because you care
Darn it BEMAD enough to VOTE!

AMERICANS ARE WORKING Enter any HARDER AND information and where the story EARNING LESS can be found.
The United States of America. In case you hadn’t noticed, many in America have been hoodwinked into believing that we are actually doing much better financially under “Don John” than we have in decades. Someone sold the masses (primarily working whites) on the notion that if the rich are making tons more money under this Administration, the whole country is experiencing prosperity. Who said common sense was common The Brookings Institution, one of America’s top research organizations which has been gleaning pertinent information from collected data for over a century, recently stated that nearly half (44%) of this country’s work force between the ages of 18 and 64 are low wage employees, this according to a CBS News Money Watch Report by journalist Aimee Picchi. This is a frightening statistic. We are not talking about teen agers working after school to buy a used car or stay at home moms earning a few extra dollars to finance gambling trips, this study references to a large degree American workers actually taking care of families on exceedingly meager wages. With the median wage being in the neighborhood of $10.20 hr., the con job is a number’s game conservatives have been utilizing off and on for decades. In this instance on one hand they transfix you by stating that unemployment is at its lowest point in 50 years, which on the surface is true, however the de-evolution of both employment wages and benefits is a large part of the capitalistic mechanism that creates the magic trick. At the same time the status quo is selling you on the “everybody’s working” shtick, these charlatans are working feverishly to ensure that social programs like food stamps and government healthcare are significantly curtailed so as to redirect government funding to projects of the elites choosing. These are the word games that are used to label social programs as wasted tax dollars for lazy (black) people while tax money diverted to the rich to “create jobs” never actually does, or enables the puppeteers to saddle the poor with menial low paying jobs absent benefits which tends to put indigent families, and often single mothers, in worse predicaments than the ones they encountered on public assistance. The erosion of labor unions played a major role in undermining the economy of working people, stemming largely from union “leaders” forming cozy partnerships with management to the detriment of the employees. Couple that with corporate America’s increased reliance on free prison labor over the last three decades and the rationale for why we are where we are is much clearer. What I have found a bit disturbing however is that many of our college educated youth have adopted an adverse conservative viewpoint as it relates to their take on labor unions not realizing that many of their non-college educated parents utilized those good paying union jobs to put a lot of them through the very colleges that provided them those coveted degrees
Renters, Renters. Whatcha Gonna Do When They Come for You?
by Kimberly F. Brown
Cleveland, OHIO. The housing situation in the United States of America is frightening since the crisis of COVID-19. The American people are running scared as their time is running short. The clock is ticking. As many people suffered and are suffering from unemployment, many of these folks are on the verge of losing everything including their home. When the coronavirus hit the country and caused a whirl spin of confusion, states began to shut down, employers closed their businesses and corporations began to fold. As an instant result, those living paycheck to paycheck tried extremely hard to stay afloat as others instantly drowned because they could not survive the crisis.
Where is the Government? Recently, there has been lots of articles written in main stream media regarding a moratorium for renters. President Trump stated renters could not be evicted by their landlord. The Trump administration will help millions avoid eviction but at the same time put many landlords in a bad financial situation. The order was announced several weeks ago by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The order forbids evictions through Dec. 31 for many tenants who are unable to pay rent. The main concern with this order is that the administration did not attach any money to offset the landlords’ lost of income due to a failure to pay by a renter. Most sad, many renters really have no understanding of what this reality mean. If a renter cannot pay their rent - if a renter fail to pay their rent - come December 31st as we head to a new year, renters who failed to pay will owe their landlords thousands of dollars in one big balloon payment. The landlords will want

Brookings noted that approximately 30 million American workers have what could be considered a good job (employment with a livable wage and benefits.) Not surprisingly; most of the workers that comprise that number have attained college degrees. Conversely, the number of adults in the U.S. working low wage jobs between the ages of 25 and 64, and mind you this age range is considered the prime earning years, totaled a whopping 53 million Americans! We wonder why black communities nationwide live in polluted neighborhoods, many of which are now classified as food deserts. While it is true some white neighborhoods are getting poorer, blacks always occupy the lowest rungs on the socioeconomic ladder and it’s getting worse. We are the primary
laborers in the (not so) New Jim Crow “prison labor for pennies” initiative and our youth are sadly helping to feed the machine. Our youth must keep themselves out of environments that make them easy pickings for a law enforcement and judicial system that has been crafted to destroy them. We must develop young people who learn to think before they act,who learn to communicate and reason by developing life-saving coping skills. By fighting and shooting each other you give the white elite just what they want, a genocide where you do their work for them by killing one other and your reward is the opportunity to provide more free labor to make them even richer after they bury you in their prisons. While we enjoy this holiday season, let us refocus our efforts to fight the real enemies and not continue to destroy each other.

Will a Second Stimulus Help? Several months ago, millions of Americans received a stimulus check to assist with bills and food. The mere $1,200.00 to every household was helpful, but clearly it was not enough. The $1200 did not touch the surface of some folks monthly bills. While congress thought they had done something grand and great, Americans dwindled further in debt. As some waited weeks on getting answers from unemployment only to be denied, others dipped in their 401k, retirement savings, stocks and bonds. It's so bad, some people have had to rely on the Food Banks only to get food almost rotted and spoiled. The state of America is real. The experience of what we are enduring is stressful and trying. Being able to count the days to homelessness is a family worst nightmare. While some of us can't sleep at night because of this primal fear, those in Washington are snoring, eating and burping as if they don't have a care in the world for they have not lost one penny. Their collective gains are financially rewarding. They continue to sit in the White House fighting about the second stimulus package that will probably never come to our collective aid. It will never come, nor will it be enough to save the roof over your head.

TheBrownReport Black Attorney’s Run for
ALL BLACK LIVES MATTER!
saying, the reason that you are not black teaching professionals, black medical and dental professionals, and black law professionals and for the sake of this article, black Judges is because the importance of not just the degree, but their capability to succeed was downplayed and so was the fact that our bench is racially inadequate. However, saving the best for last it is the interference of Cuyahoga County’s political machines and lack of funding or ability to raise funds to run against incumbents who have sat on the bench for decades that also discourage their candidacy. Running for Judge encompasses running a countywide campaign traditionally and candidates need to raise at least $70-80,000 to run a decent campaign and that’s on the very low end for incumbents. That is why party endorsements are so heavily sought after because it helps with recognition and financially, and as most would agree if you are not a party favorite, they won’t endorse you. You can be a “people’s” favorite, but without them showing up at the polls and contributing to a candidate’s campaign, their odds of winning are very slight.
Your Life;
and Our Lives Too!
Guest Columnist, Cassandra McDonald President, Euclid NAACP
Cuyahoga County has been a likened with mass incarceration, inadequate legal representation, harsher sentences, and judicial inequity against black and brown in our courts.
There is no question, that we need more black attorney’s to run for Judge and more black Judge’s on the bench, but we also have to keep in mind that every black attorney and every black Judge is not for the black agenda, so what do we do? We keep the momentum going! We encourage our black attorneys to run for Judge, we support them when they run for Judge, and we vote for them when they run for Judge.
All in all, we should be questioning ourselves when we look at the make-up of our Court of Common Pleas. Out of 34 Judges 4 are black female judges with no black male representation on the bench. Remember, this is the court that handles our most serious crimes and offenses, and also the court with self-inflicted mass incarceration. Do you see the parable in this? Ok, now We as people have summoned our legislators to implement laws and policies to combat discrimination within our legal system. We you get it. So, let’s choose wisely next time. Oh, and black people, stop running against each other for the same seat because it’s “safer.” Form a pac and a strategy together. You run first and I’ll run next or however you do it. The bottom line is we have entertained demonstrations and protests against judges who clearly and collectively over “137” times chose either to minimize have to stop doing it to each other. You may be surprised at the results the next time around. We need your presence to pain in the black community, or maximize low level crimes by over reform the bench! the top sentencing practices; yet nothing significant has changed. We are moving, but the change that will give us that eureka moment has yet to arrive.
Important Message from Cleveland Councilman Kevin Conwell WARD 9
Criminal/Judicial reform has been the topic of many political candidates from our local to federal offices. Some ideas were good, some were not so good, but all in the same, “We’ve heard that before.” We can change many things legislatively, but what can we do to change the mindset of the bench and the judges who serve on it?
Attention Residents of OHIO. As you remember, John P.O. Donnell is the judge who rendered a not guilty decision in the case of police officer Michael Brelo. Brelo is the Cleveland cop charged with th murder of Timothy Russell and Melissa Williams - two black citizens who died from a barrage of gunfire, 137shots to be exact. Timothy nor Melissa committed no crime other than refusing to stop their vehicle for the police.
The Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas is made up of 34 Judges; 4 black female judges, 0 “YES,” 0 black male judges, and 1 female and 1 male Judge that may identify as minority in terms of race.
We need to hold John P.O.Donnell responsible since there was no jury assisting in the decision of acquittal. What I recall from reading, Judge O'Donnell based his ruling upon the officers "perceived threat".To me, this is illogical because if the officer feared for his life as stated in testimony, why did he jump on the top of the hood of the car and fire his gun into the windshield. Judge O'Donnell finding Brelo not guilty makes no sense other than it being a case of judicial inequality within our criminal justice system.
This observation is significant to how we approach criminal/judicial reform. It’s not just in our laws and policies but in the psychology of who exercises those laws and policies from the bench. It is human nature, it is core beliefs and how the person on the bench identifies with people. Not just in terms of the crime(s) that they have committed, but look pass the stereotype of blacks and crime. The same scrutiny that we place upon police officers in uniform is the same scrutiny that we should apply to judges in knowing who they are behind the robe. One approach to navigating the disparity of the bench is for black attorneys to run for Judge, and run as if their lives depended on it, because in all actuality from what 2020 has suggested, it does; and our lives depend on them running too.
With a nationwide shortage of black attorneys, 88% white (out of 77% of the population), 5% black, 5% Hispanic, and 2% being Asian, we have to address the obvious; reform should start with the bench. (Spectrum1) But, why aren’t more black, qualified, and highly skilled attorneys, more specifically male attorneys appearing on the ballot for Court of Common Pleas Judge?
Well, let’s start with law school first. Besides completing a J.D., law school grads have to sit and pass the Bar Exam, which would allow them to practice law in the State of Ohio. However, in order to sit for admittance to take the bar, an aspiring attorney has to also address the Ohio Felony Moral Character & Turpitude question. Since blacks are more likely to have felony convictions, issues with credit, low GPA’s, and academic marks on their records (which are also pre-conditions to being able to sit for the Bar,) it discourages some very gifted individuals from applying to law school. This in itself has been problematic in Ohio as Ohio does not offer conditional admissions to the bar like other states such as Arizona, West Virginia, and others. Conditional admissions will let an individual sit for the bar and practice who otherwise would not have met the Character & Moral Turpitude standard, granted they fulfill the conditions set forth for them for a specified period of time. Once they successfully complete the conditions, then they are fully admitted as licensed attorneys.
Judge O'Donnell tried to run for Ohio Supreme Court in 2016 and our efforts defeated him. You shared the information, and voted against him. Thank you! We need you to do that again. Remember, we are urging you to vote for a new president and vote NO for Judge John P. O'Donnell for the Ohio Supreme Court.
Sincerely,
Kevin Conwell Kevin Conwell, WARD 9
The Real Race for White House Pence or Harris?
Election 2020. This is a strange election. From name calling to pettiness and immaturity, the silly season of politics is displaying its ugly head. If Americans were looking for Halloween, they found it in Donald Trump and Joe Biden; the scary old men. Thank goodness for Mike Pence and Kamala Harris. As most Americans are weighing-in on the next President of the United States of America, they ought to be looking at the next VP who is sure to become the next President. Be it Pence or Harris, whatever is the outcome, it will be a hell of a lot better than a Trump or Biden.
The Brown Report Ballot Box; Endorsements
Secondly, once an individual has been accepted into and graduated law school, they must contend with getting internships or employment in their preferred practice. Understand that a student can still be admitted to law school with a felony record, poor credit and other blemishes, but if they are trying to gain experience working within the judicial system, odds are even more so stacked against them. It makes you wonder, does the judicial system believe in its on system of rehabilitation? Third, there has been a lot of educational agenda’s that are aggressively encouraging young adults to enroll in vocational or trade schools diminishing college/university degrees with hyping up the monetary expense that comes with it. The point is well taken, but here is what they are not

President Donald Trump and Joe Biden Debate; One Hot Mess
World News or World Mess
September 29, 2020 the millions of viewer tuned to the Presidential Debate; the race for the White House. As the debate began, people got confused. Some thought they were in the midst of Romper Room while other had a flashback of the little rascals. Yep, Spanky and AlAlfa. This was a mess. No. It was a pure embarrassment to the highest office in the land. Have they no shame? There is one debate remaining. Both candidates, TRUMP and BIDEN owes the country viable plans of substance. We don't need name calling, we need plans to calm the civil unrest; the storms - not grumpy old men who don't know how to play in the American sand box.

Twelve Million Dollars can Buy Almost Anything but it Can't Buy You TBR Staffa JUSTICE!
America the Beautiful Unless You Are..., Injustice, un-justice, just us, just them, no justice, no peace, lots of civil unrest as just "them" sleep? As America is faced with another despicable stain on their white carpet, millions of folks are protesting across the globe to denounce the decision about the Breonna Taylor's case of Louisville Kentucky. Taylor was shot and killed in her apartment by Louisville police officers after they broke down the door to her apartment while executing a search warrant. A grand jury decided to indict only one of the three officers involved with a first degree wanton endangerment charge. According to legal sources, the charge applies to the risk placed on Taylor's neighbors but does not aim to hold the officer responsible for her death.
This is straight bull on every level. Are they saying cops can ride up in your home anytime of the night and day and shoot to kill black folks? Here in Cuyahoga County, we know far to well how a white judge allowed a cop to walk after the cop (a skilled shooter) stood on the hood of a car and shot at two black unarmed people sitting in a car. In Cuyahoga County, we watched a Chief Prosecutor dismiss a case following the death of a black boy as they conducted a botched investigation. Here in Cuyahoga County, we continued to watch a black female judge openly reduce a white man's bail from $50,000 to $10,000 after the man was charged with six counts of child endangerment and one count of involuntary manslaughter.
OPEN ENROLLMENT MONDAY - FRIDAY FAST, FREE & FLEXIBLE
We are no different than Louisville, Kentucky Our region have major problems with race relations and injustices within our legal system. We have had our moments from Tamir Rice to 137shots - the brutal killing of Timothy Russell and Melissa Williams. We have heard cries of family members which is symbolic to a slave owner beating and killing a slave child. The District Attorneys are like slave masters and some Judges are the overseers of the plantation. They are elected to serve the master at any cost - even for $12 million dollars. In their minds - it's better to pay 12 rather then spend 25 on an invisible black woman or man with the melanated skin. What can you buy with 12m? You can't buy JUSTICE!
