Greetings!
 
We hope you are having a phenomenal Indigenous Peoples' Day!
 
This is a quick newsletter to share some basic but important info.
 
Cleveland Mayor’s Race
Tonight, Cleveland mayoral candidates Justin Bibb and Kevin Kelley are squaring off in the traditional City Club general election debate. Of course, in this COVID-era, traditions are being upended on a daily basis. Early voting has begun, and the debate was pre-recorded late this afternoon, so there will be no live audience questions. But this may still be the best remaining format to compare and contrast the two candidates, one of whom will be elected Cleveland’s next mayor three weeks from today.
This year, Ideastream worked with The City Club to arrange the debate. Nick Castele, senior reporter/producer at Ideastream Public Media, is the debate host. Joining him are a panel of journalists: Lawrence Daniel Caswell, field coordinator at Cleveland Documenters and Elizabeth McIntyre, executive editor at Crain's Cleveland Business.
 
NAACP Membership meeting
One benefit of the pandemic and its resultant quarantine is that it is now possible to “attend” meetings without leaving home, meaning you can actually learn something about your community with much less that used to be considered a normal effort. Meetings now come to you pretty much whereever you are.
The Cleveland NAACP welcomes you to attend its general membership meeting tomorrow night at 7p, using this ZOOM meeting link. The passcode is Branch 3176. You call also dial in using your phone, even if it’s a land line, using the info below:
