Chair's Corner

First they came for the Communists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me

And there was no one left

To speak out for me

- Martin Niemoller

As Democrats, we have to speak up for all the disadvantaged, marginalized, and targeted in our country.

Cuyahoga loves libraries and the Cuyahoga and Cleveland systems are among the best in the US!

The Proposed Ohio House of Representatives Budget Threatens the Funding of Public Libraries - The Ohio House of Representative’s proposed budget will dismantle the Public Library Fund – replacing it with an unstable funding structure that could severely impact the ability of public libraries in Cuyahoga County to offer programming, resources, services and spaces – just as the demand for these services is growing.

The proposed budget reduces funding for the libraries in Cuyahoga County by nearly 25%. - Ask Ohio House of Representatives to restore the Public Library Fund.

The SAVE Act would not make voting more secure; it would just make it harder for millions of Americans to vote.

Voters would need to provide one of the following documents to register:

US Birth Certificate
US Passport
Certificate of Naturalization
Certificate of Citizenship

WHY DOES THIS MATTER?

140 Million US Citizens do not have a passport
Up to 69 million WOMEN who changed their last name after marriage do not have a birth certificate matching their legal name
