The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections is partnering with the Cleveland Clergy Coalition and First Energy to host an event series, “A Community Conversation,” to address the subject of community involvement and low voter turnout on the east side of Cleveland.
The first event will take place this Thursday, March 15 at 7:00 p.m. at Mt. Zion Congregational Church. Harry Boomer of Cleveland 19 News will moderate this important discussion and is expected to touch on topics such as gun violence, voter education, job opportunities, and more. The event will be similar to a town hall format, giving attendees the opportunity to collaborate with each other and voice their concerns, ideas, and suggestions for improving their community.
The Board of Elections will be on site to provide non-partisan voter information and answer questions about voting and the upcoming Primary Election. Representatives will be able to assist with voter registration, voting by mail, and provide other relevant information to participants.
First Energy will also be on site to accept applications for an energy audit. Some participants may be eligible to receive free appliances for their home.
The event series is free to attend and refreshments will be provided. Two additional events are planned for later this spring, however, dates have yet to be finalized. St. John Methodist Church is pleased to host one of the two upcoming events.
