Organizers say the demonstration is aimed at protesting against the “inhumanity” at the county jail as well as demanding more urgent change from the administration of County Executive Armond Budish. Protesters also want the county to provide to the public regular progress reports about the changes it is making at the jail to improve conditions.
Other groups that are sponsoring the protest are Black on Black Crime Inc., Ohio Student Association, Showing Up for Racial Justice, Ohio Organizing Collaborative and Cleveland Lead Safe Network.
