Cleveland Renaissance Movement: Police to wear Body Cameras

This petition is made in an effort to ensure the safety of all residents in the State of Ohio and to ensure the safety of law enforcement officials as they interact with the public while performing their duties.

Why is this important?

The shooting deaths of unarmed Mike Brown, Timothy Russell, Malissa Williams and John Crawford are examples of the inequities that are happening across the country and here in the State of Ohio. This petition is essential because unarmed people of color have been gunned down at the hands of law enforcement without recourse.

The Cleveland Renaissance Movement was conceived by local poet and community activist Basheer Jones in reaction to the shooting of Mike Brown, in addition to the police chase and shooting deaths of unarmed Malissa Williams and Timothy Russell.

The Cleveland Renaissance Movement (CRM) seeks to ensure and enforce the protection of human rights for all people of color.
