  • Paid Leave For All

    Paid Leave For All
    Jun 14 2024
    At Paid Leave for All, they know families, and the nation, are strongest when we all have time to heal from illness or injury, welcome a new child, or help a loved one recover or ease their passing. Yet today, the United States is one of the only countries in the world that doesn\'t guarantee any form of paid leave for its people. Paid leave impacts public health, financial security, and racial and gender inequity. Paid leave is also a proven tool to retain talented workers and support economic development.\r\n\r\nWhile the country came close to changing this in 2021 after COVID-19, Congress fell short one vote away from paid family and medical leave becoming federal law. Now, states and cities have filled in the gaps, with more than a dozen programs and cities developing policies for public workers. The City of Cleveland made paid leave available to employees in 2023, and Cuyahoga County similarly followed suit earlier this year.\r\n\r\nDawn Huckelbridge has served as Founding Director of Paid Leave for All since 2019. She has spent her career in gender policy, political organizing, communications, and building early-stage programs and campaigns. Dawn most recently served as Communications Director for Supermajority during its launch and as the Senior Director of the Women's Rights Initiative at American Bridge.

    For 80 years, the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) has been the nation's largest guiding light in propelling our nation's Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)--which educate and support the largest number of the nation's Black professionals.\r\n\r\nThe City Club is proud to partner with UNCF as it marks this milestone to foster a stronger, more inclusive Cleveland community by enhancing educational opportunities for underrepresented students in the region. WKYC\'s Danita Harris will sit down in conversation with Steve Phillips, author of The New York Times bestseller Brown Is the New White and the newly released national bestselling book How We Win the Civil War: Securing a Multiracial Democracy and Ending White Supremacy for Good.

  • Derelict Paradise: Homelessness and Urban Development in Cleveland, Ohio

    Derelict Paradise: Homelessness and Urban Development in Cleveland, Ohio
    Jun 7 2024
    In his latest book, Derelict Paradise: Homelessness and Urban Development in Cleveland, Ohio, Dan Kerr shows that homelessness has deep roots in the shifting ground of urban labor markets, social policy, downtown development, the criminal justice system, and corporate power. Rather than being attributable to the illnesses and inadequacies of the unhoused themselves, it is a product of both structural and political dynamics shaping the city.\r\n\r\nKerr is an associate professor of history at American University. Since his earliest work with the Cleveland Homeless Oral History Project (CHOHP), he has sought out ways to bring the oral histories he has collected back to the communities they originated from. The CHOHP project shaped the core themes woven throughout Derelict Paradise.\r\n\r\nHe is currently working on the Mobilizing Against Homelessness project, which seeks to document and amplify the voices, perspectives, and analysis of those experiencing homelessness in Washington, DC.
