Who We Are
Our grassroots group of citizens
working to protect and support
our local democracy
We are a non-partisan citizen group working together to make sure that the values of democracy are embodied in our elected officials and drive our city’s policies and actions.
We are committed to reporting only incidents and practices corroborated by evidence, as well as understanding the significance of these incidents and practices through the lens of our values of democracy and conditions necessary for its health.
We are dedicated to supporting Cleveland Heights’ current form of local government and to working diligently to ensure its success.
We hope that, through our work, we will reach a point in which no one in our city holds legitimate fears of reprisal for disagreeing, speaking their mind, or voicing concerns.

There are other contributors who wish to remain anonymous for fear of retribution. Some are concerned for themselves or family members, and some are concerned about the standing of community groups, organizations, and businesses they associate with. We respect their wishes and prioritize the well-being of themselves, loved ones, and associations.
We acknowledge that this may be viewed as a lack of transparency, which is one of our core values of democracy. However, some in our group have experienced or know people who have experienced retaliation for disagreement with some current elected officials, which is a violation of one of the conditions for democracy, civil discourse.
