Re: 21 Day Racial Equity and Social Justice Challenge

Dear Council,

The roots of racial inequities and social injustice run deep into our nation’s history. The deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd have sparked a call for change. To better serve our community and to ensure that all residents are represented we recognize that we should make all efforts to be fully educated on issues surrounding diversity, inclusion, and social justice.

Lakewood is a diverse, but historically white, community with predominately white leadership. We know from listening to residents, activists, researchers, and educators, that to create the universally inclusive and equitable culture that we seek in our community and the broader world that it is our responsibility to fully educate ourselves on the racial inequities in our society. It is not enough to avoid overtly racist actions. We must actively be anti-racist and intentionally socially just.

As stated in the attached resolution, we are committed to completing the YWCA’s 2020 21 Day Racial Equity and Social Justice Challenge1 prior to the end of the year. We invite and encourage all members of council, the Mayor, the Directors and Chiefs, members of the administration, all Lakewood city employees, and residents to join us. This online, asynchronous, and non-partisan program centers around the topical issues of how racial inequities impact voting, education, criminal justice and public health.

We respectfully request immediate adoption of this resolution.

RESOLUTION NO. 2020-37 BY: A RESOLUTION to commit to participation in and promote participation in the 21 Day Racial Equity and Social Justice Challenge program designed to build social justice habits, particularly those dealing with issues of race, power, privilege, and leadership. WHEREAS, systemic, institutional racism and discrimination causes extensive psychological, physiological, academic and economic harm to all members of the community, and; WHEREAS, people are often unaware of their own internalized racial biases and prejudices, and how they negatively impact their thinking and decision-making, and; WHEREAS, governmental leaders bare a particular responsibility to identify and work to address their own areas for growth to ensure that they are prepared to lead with anti-racist intention, and; WHEREAS, Lakewood residents have expressed, and city leaders share, an urgent desire to ensure that our community continues to march toward an inclusive, diverse ,and socially just future. Now, therefore,

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF LAKEWOOD, OHIO: Section 1. That this Council does hereby declare that, prior to January 1, 2021, each member shall fully participate in and complete the 21 Day Racial Equity and Social Justice Challenge as presented by the Cleveland YWCA. Section 2. That this Council recognizes and commends the Mayor’s intention to commit herself, her Directors and Chiefs, and other administrative team members to do likewise. Section 3. That this Council invites all residents to visit the YWCA of Cleveland’s 21 Day Racial Equity and Social Justice Challenge website for more information on the program and to participate. Section 4. It is found and determined that all formal actions of this Council concerning and relating to the passage of this resolution were adopted in an open meeting of this Council, and that all such deliberations of this Council and any of its committees that resulted in such formal action, were in meetings open to the public, in compliance with all legal requirements.

Lakewood City Council, Mayor George, Lakewood Residents Lakewood, Ohio

Re: Policing Policy Review & Racial Equity

Dear colleagues, Lakewood friends & neighbors;

Safe communities are a basic right that should be honored for all. Even as we have worked to keep Lakewood safe from the danger of the COVID-19 pandemic, recent days have reminded us of the ongoing danger to community safety in America, from violence and racism.

Injury and death from violence is an outsized problem in America. As with COVID-19 and many of our society’s ills, the impact is disproportionately experienced by Black Americans. Each of these problems also reveals the powerful impact of policy. Just as policy leadership, or its absence, has made vast differences to COVID-19’s toll on societies, policy leadership can affect incidents of violence and other racial disparities, for better or for worse.

This reality gives impetus to requests from Lakewood residents to review our city’s policing policies. Policy leadership has played a clear role in the variety of communities’ experience, not only with recent protests but with longer-term progress toward safety, nonviolence, trust, and inclusion. The outcomes of policy reforms in cities like Camden and Newark, in New Jersey, present an eye-opening contrast with many other cities, where residents have experienced a catalog of injuries from tactics and weapons which are detracting from safety rather than protecting it.

Accordingly, we support the call of residents, local activists, and leaders throughout the country, to review and respond to local policies in pursuit of solutions for violence and racial disparities. Campaign Zero offers the following eight data-based strategies, known colloquially as #8CantWait that, according to their research report, “are associated with 72% fewer police-involved killings compared to departments with none of these policies in place and a 54% reduction for the average police

022

department.” Their research also found that, “police departments with more restrictive use of force policies have better outcomes in terms of officer safety and have no impact on crime rates.” We recommend reviewing these eight strategies as places to begin: 1. Ban chokeholds, and strangleholds 2. Require de-Escalation 3. Require warning before shooting 4. Require exhausting all alternatives before shooting 5. Duty to intervene 6. Ban shooting at moving vehicles 7. Require use of force continuum 8. Require comprehensive reporting

More detailed policy suggestions may be found under the Use of Force Policy Language section of the 8CantWait.org website. Additionally, based on recommendations from the NAACP, a group of 25 African-American Councilwomen from across the state of Ohio, and questions raised by recent events, we recommend review of the following strategies:

9. Declare racism a public health crisis 10. Assess penalties for false calls regarding racial profiling, and for abusive and unnecessary use of

local police agency resources 11. Study the use of Lakewood police personnel when responding to calls for assistance from other

cities, and the function of auxiliary forces within Lakewood, to best protect community values in these circumstances

12. Implement a Citizen’s Review Board to support public confidence in police accountability

It’s critical for elected leaders at every level of government to work together, to respond to this national test; it is also critical that we respond to the ongoing interest of the Lakewood community in safety, equity, and good government. We believe Lakewood is capable and prepared to rise to the occasion, and provide leadership that will serve residents, and credit our community in the judgment of posterity. Recently, members of our own Lakewood Police Department knelt in solidarity with protestors seeking to reduce fatal and unnecessary force. Let us give them the tools to achieve this goal. We respectfully request a referral of this communication to the Public Safety Committee, and or any other committee of council’s choosing, for further deliberation in support of appropriate action.

DANIEL O’MALLEY, WARD 4

June 15, 2020 Dear Colleagues: Belatedly, a great deal has been made of structural racism in our society in recent weeks, including in Lakewood. Thus far I must say I am extremely proud of how Lakewood, especially our young people, have thoughtfully, bravely and safely exhibited their feelings and ideas to promote a more just and equitable Lakewood. At our most recent council meeting, I alluded to a communication addressing racism as a public health crisis, and as I’ve worked on it, I’ve decided that it ought to be personal as well as outward looking. Thus, I have not asked any colleagues to sign on to this with me. I imagine they would agree with many of the following points, but in order for our society to rid itself of racism, I think it is incumbent upon all of us to look at ourselves first and ask if there is anything we can change. Looking within:

• I apologize for the ways I, my privilege or even slowness to act may have promoted or upheld a racist society.

• I recognize that my family and I embody tremendous privilege. I am willing to use that privilege to create lasting change.

• I will continue to work to improve diversity, equity and inclusion within my own workplaces, both in my “day job” and at City Hall through training, new roles and more.

• Diversity, equity and inclusion are not a 9-5 job. I am willing to help build, seek and promote ways to educate my own family, neighbors and friends wherever possible, and not solely in places where it is convenient or expected. This must be a lifestyle change. I should add that my children are teaching me!

While I am technically making a political statement, true change must be viewed in both health and political terms. Therefore, looking outward:

• I call upon and endorse the Cuyahoga County Board of Health to formally name Racism a Public Health Crisis, noting the work already being done - https://hipcuyahoga.org/eliminating-structural-racism/

• I call upon and endorse Cuyahoga County Council and/or the County Executive to name Racism a Public Health Crisis. It is important that our political leaders both within and outside of historic red lines are on board with this, together.

• I support and thank Cleveland City Council for adopting their resolution naming racism a Public Health Crisis 024

• I promote and endorse the voting rights and the proper census taking for people of color, who are often underrepresented.

Lastly, there are resources that are truly incredible and ought to be accessible to as many people of privilege as possible. This is not an exhaustive list, but are resources that I’ve found which could be helpful for others:

• The Cuyahoga County Board of Health, through its Health Improvement Partnership-Cuyahoga work, has focused on eliminating structural racism as a goal, along with many community partners: https://hipcuyahoga.org/eliminating-structural-racism/

• First year Cleveland is focused on this as it relates to infant mortality: https://www.firstyearcleveland.org/solutions/reducing-racial-disparities/structural-racism

• The Northeast Ohio Black Health Coalition is “dedicated to addressing disparities in health, employment, housing and education in the community:” https://www.neoblackhealthcoalition.org/

• Showing Up for Racial Justice, which has a Northeast Ohio chapter (https://surjneo.org/) says whites need to be “part of a multi-racial movement to undermine white support for white supremacy and to help build a racially-just society. That work cannot be done in isolation from or disconnected from the powerful leadership of communities of color. It is one part of a multi-racial, cross-class movement centering the leadership of people of color. Therefore, SURJ believes in resourcing organizing led by people of color, and maintaining strong accountability relationships with organizers and communities of color as central part of our theory of change.”

• The YWCA shared “75 Things White People can do for Racial Justice” - https://medium.com/equality-includes-you/what-white-people-can-do-for-racial-justice-f2d18b0e0234 as well as a 21 day challenge that was conducted in March but is usable at any time - https://www.ywcaofcleveland.org/2020-21-day-racial-equity-and-social-justice-challenge/

Because racism as a health crisis might seem like a foreign concept to some, I encourage you all to seek out additional resources tying trauma informed care and environments to racism. It is well documented how trauma can impact the brain, especially early in life. Any person who is continually subjected to racist ridicule or slander, or who lives in fear of such will inevitably be conditioned for a traumatic response to racism or racist comments or acts. Said more simply, personal health is impacted by repeated and constant racist behaviors, both overt and implied. This makes the case for how racism is a health crisis and not solely a social one. Indeed “the body keeps score”. Thank you again to my colleagues, the Mayor and her administration, my neighbors and Lakewood’s residents for joining in this important conversation. I look forward to all that we can accomplish together. I also encourage all of us to hold each other accountable now and in years to come to assure that these are more than just words. Yours in service, John Litten Council Vice-President Councilmember, Ward 3
