Starting Today and Starting Next Week
Starting today, CCPC News and Events will no longer include the “Also in the News” section or news articles in the BLM and Immigration sections. Beginning next Tuesday, January 3, we’ll be sending out a new weekly email titled CCPC Recommended. Similar to the Daily Kos Recommended format, the weekly email will feature important news articles. However, like the current “Also in the News” format, it will include our commentary after each article.
Upcoming CCPC Events

And if you are a City of Cleveland resident…
Your trash may not be picked up, your streets may not be plowed and your water mains and streets may stop being repaired. If you do not want this to happen call City Hall at 216 664 3990 and tell the mayor to Treat All Of The City Employees Equally At The Bargaining Table

CCPC Seventh Anniversary Celebration & Fundraiser Friday, January 20 from 5 to 8 pm @ The Ohio Inn, 11822 Detroit Ave. Lakewood 44107. We haven’t got together for a Holiday Party since before the Pandemic. This year it looks like we can! But instead of getting together in December when people are busy getting ready for the holidays, we thought it best to wait until January and celebrate the seventh anniversary of our office opening in 2016! And we have a venue just down the street from our office. The Ohio Inn has a cash bar and we’ll provide the food. If you can’t make it but can make a donation please click here or mail a check made out to Cuyahoga County Progressive Caucus to CCPC Office, 11910 Detroit Ave. Lakewood 44107. If you can make it but can’t make a donation at this time please come anyway for the celebration! Also, we’d like to know how many are coming so we know how much food to bring. Please RSVP by responding to this email, clicking the going link on the facebook event or by calling me at 440 220 1874.
