Did you know? 👀
Cleveland City Council works for YOU.

🏘️ They make decisions on housing, safety, and neighborhood development.
💡 They pass policies that impact jobs, schools, and city services.
📊 They approve budgets that determine how resources flow into our communities.

Your voice matters — and your councilmembers are here to represent it. 🗣️

That’s why we created Karaoke & Conversation 🎤✨ — a space where civic participation meets fun. Let’s talk about how local government impacts our daily lives while enjoying music, food, and community.

📅 This Friday!
📍 Platform 13 – 7500 Cedar Ave., CLE
⏰ Doors open at 5:30 PM | Conversation at 6 PM | Dinner + Karaoke to follow

Come for the vibes, stay for the conversation, and leave ready to take action. 💪🏾

8️⃣ Erode public trust
9️⃣ Normalize violence
🔟 Silence dissent
