We’re Getting Ready for Some Action!

What is happening at the February 27thAction?

The past three years Greater Cleveland Congregations has been pushing for the creation of one or more offsite pre-booking mental health and addiction crisis centers in Cuyahoga County. These centers:

  • Keep people out of jail
  • Save lives
  • Save public money

It’s time to gather people in one place, including public officials, to focus on the work accomplished and the work that still needs to be done.

What can I do?

  • Mark February 27th on your calendar and plan to attend the Action.
  • Help recruit others from your institutions to attend.
  • Share this flyer.
  • Expect to have fun. Actions are exciting and inspiring!

What is an Action?

An Action brings together people – and their collective power – across lines of race, religion, neighborhoods and suburbs to make their self-interest on a specific issue known to public officials and others with the power to make sustainable change.
