  • A Youth Justice Collaborative - A Vision for Systems Change

    A Youth Justice Collaborative - A Vision for Systems Change
    Jun 13 2025
    In 2021, Cuyahoga County sent four times more children to adult court - referred to as a \"bindover\" - than the next highest county, Hamilton, which includes Cincinnati. Racial disparities exist at every stage of our criminal legal system. Yet, as of September 2024, Black youth comprised 72% of Ohio\'s youth prison population.\r\n\r\nMembers of the Youth Justice Collaborative believe it is time for our public leaders, courts, and communities to prioritize effective interventions, rather than rely on "tough-on-crime" approaches that criminalize adolescence. Through the Collaborative, they have supported transformative grassroots efforts that placed community-led programs within the facilities of the Juvenile Detention Center. What lessons can the Collaborative share that will optimize impactful change?

    Community First: Leadership for the Greater Good
    May 30 2025
    Over the past two decades, the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA) has been steadily replacing and rebuilding virtually its entire stock of low income and affordable housing across Greater Cleveland. As CMHA\'s CEO since 2012, Jeffery Patterson has led an ongoing process of neighbor and resident engagement, ensuring that every resident has a voice in the future of the community and the facilities that are being built.\r\n\r\nBy special request of the donors who created our annual Leadership for the Greater Good Forum, Jeffery Patterson will be joined by City Club CEO Dan Moulthrop for a collegial conversation about leadership and the importance of prioritizing community voice. Moulthrop has led the City Club since 2013, and his tenure has been recognized not only for the successful move to Playhouse Square but perhaps, more importantly, by the increasing relevance and accessibility of City Club forums.

  • Reconciliation in America's Museums: Understanding Cultural Patrimony and the Path to Rebuilding Tru

    Reconciliation in America's Museums: Understanding Cultural Patrimony and the Path to Rebuilding Tru
    May 22 2025
    As the lasting impact of colonialism and slavery is felt throughout Native American tribes and Black communities today, museums across the nation are grappling with issues of patrimony and provenance regarding art, artifacts, relics, and remains. These items were often taken without consent, long before ethical protocols for procurement were established.\r\n\r\nNow, museums are working to find solutions in collaboration with community and comply with federal laws, such as the Native American Graves and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). Enacted in the 1990s, the Biden Administration recently issued updated policies that ultimately led to some museums covering up or removing some displays until the appropriate determinations could be made. This act reignited a conversation on museums\' role in reconciliation, addressing historical injustices, and cross-cultural understanding.\r\n\r\nThe City Club is once again proud to partner with The Cleveland Orchestra as part of the third annual Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Opera and Humanities Festival. Join us as we hear from museum leadership from Washington, D.C., New York City, and here in Ohio on how American cultural institutions are charting a new path forward on reconciliation and repatriation.

  • Trigger Point: Protecting Medicaid Expansion & Healthcare Access in Ohio

    Trigger Point: Protecting Medicaid Expansion & Healthcare Access in Ohio
    May 16 2025
    Originally expanded in 2014 under the Kasich administration, Ohio is one of 41 states, including the District of Columbia, that has implemented Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act. However, the addition of trigger language into the current state budget bill would allow Ohio to disenroll from Medicaid expansion if federal assistance for the program drops below 90%. The trigger language comes as congressional Republicans in D.C. consider cutting the federal match for Medicaid expansion.\r\n\r\nFor Ohio, it\'s a move that could strip healthcare access from over 770,000 Ohioans; including about 362,000 in rural Ohio counties.\r\n\r\nAdvocates in health equity, maternal and infant vitality, mental health, and more have sounded the alarm on what it means to return to an era before Medicaid expansion. A rollback would also disproportionately impact rural communities and their hospitals, adding to already staggering health disparities.\r\n\r\nFeaturing:\r\nDomonic Hopson\r\nPresident and CEO, Neighborhood Family Practice\r\n\r\nBeejadi Mukunda, MD\r\nVP & Market Chief Medical Officer, Ohio, CareSource\r\n\r\nAmy Rohling McGee\r\nPresident, Health Policy Institute of Ohio\r\n\r\nModerator\r\nEmily Campbell\r\nPresident & CEO, The Center for Community Solutions

  • The Unseen Truth: When Race Changed Sight in America

    The Unseen Truth: When Race Changed Sight in America
    May 9 2025
    Sarah Lewis's book The Unseen Truth: When Race Changed Sight in America examines America from the end of the Civil War to the beginning of Jim Crow when the country\'s conception of race, and whiteness, was transforming. A finalist for the 2025 Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards, Lewis uncovers a pivotal era when Americans came to ignore the truth about the false foundations of the nation's racial regime. Thanks to Professor Lewis's historical detective work, what we see and what's left unseen shapes everything we believe about ourselves and other people - and how we can start changing the narrative about who counts and who belongs in America.\r\n\r\nSarah Lewis is an award-winning art historian, founder of Vision & Justice, and the John L. Loeb Associate Professor of the Humanities and Associate Professor of African and African American Studies at Harvard University. She is also the author of the bestseller The Rise: Creativity, the Gift of Failure, and the Search for Mastery, as well as the forthcoming book Vision & Justice.

  • Former U.S. Sec. of Commerce Wilbur Ross on His Legacy, Tariffs, and Trump Economics

    Former U.S. Sec. of Commerce Wilbur Ross on His Legacy, Tariffs, and Trump Economics
    May 8 2025
    Wilbur Ross has earned a reputation as one of the nation\'s hard-nosed negotiators and "King of Bankruptcy" over his 55-year career on Wall Street. This reputation, in part, landed him among Bloomberg\'s 50 most influential people in global finance, and a role as Secretary of Commerce during Trump\'s first administration.\r\n\r\nAfter coming to Washington, Ross faced tough challenges, yet survived in his post for all four years. During his tenure, Ross was involved in negotiating and implementing tariffs on China and elsewhere. Undoubtedly, there are few others with deep insight into the mind of President Trump, and the President\'s motives on tariffs, taxes, and deregulation policies.\r\n\r\nIn his latest book, Risks and Returns: Creating Success in Business and Life, Ross explains how he got to the top and stayed there. The book serves as a candid reflection of a life lived at the pinnacle of Wall Street, New York, and Palm Beach society, and the Trump administration.
