Columbus Police Accountability Project- Jonathan Beard & David Harewood
b'Carolyn Harding with Jonathan Beard and David Harewood, organizers with the Columbus Police Accountability Project, \\u201cTo provide information for empowered citizens to learn more about how to exercise our collective power to ensure police accountability. Finally..\\u201d\\n\\nJon Beard\'s life goal is to help make the world a better place. He now works in the field of career technical education after working for 22 years in community-led redevelopment of distressed neighborhoods. He has helped lead multiple citizen ballot initiatives to reform Columbus City Council and regulate campaign contributions, coached and then ran a youth baseball league, and volunteered with many social welfare associations in his 30 years in Columbus.\\n\\nDavid S. Harewood is an advocate and artist who\\u2019s spent the last decade in Columbus to give voice to the voiceless and help shorten the \\u201dlong arc of history\\u201d toward justice with every project and campaign. Having forged alliances and friendships with multiple organizations addressing, and victims of, police abuse, he joined with the Columbus Police Accountability Project as a way to provide protection for and a voice to those long afraid to speak out about the wrongs committed against them in the name of \\u201claw and order\\u201d.\\n\\nThis is from the Columbus Police Accountability Website:\\n\\n\\u201cWe are a collection of African American community leaders and involved citizens and our allies who are calling for the federal protection from a rogue division of police that has a pattern and practice of violating our community\\u2019s rights under the Constitution of the United States of America and the country\\u2019s various federally-ensured civil rights. We seek federal protection because for the past decades city political leadership has failed in that task. We will support our call for federal oversight by providing collecting and the testimony of Columbus residents who have experienced such lawless policing since the DOJ last investigated Columbus in 1998.\\u201d\\n\\nColumbus is a dangerous city, the Columbus Division of Police\\u2019s violence and killing of our Black and People of Color citizens is next to that of New York City and Chicago.\\n\\nWhat is going on in Columbus with the Division of Police?\\n\\nhttps://c-pap.info\\n\\nGrassRoot Ohio, Conversations with everyday people working on important issues, here in Columbus and all around Ohio.\\n\\nEvery Friday 5:00pm, EST on 94.1FM & streaming worldwide @ WGRN.org,\\nSundays at 2:00pm EST on 92.7/98.3 FM and streams @ WCRSFM.org, and Sundays at 4:00pm EST, at 107.1 FM, Wheeling/Moundsville WV on WEJP-LP FM.\\n\\nContact Us if you would like GrassRoot Ohio on your local station.\\n\\nCheck us out and Like us on Face Book: https://www.facebook.com/GrassRootOhio/\\nCheck us out on Instagram:\\nhttps://www.instagram.com/grassroot_ohio/\\nIf you miss the Friday broadcast, you can find it here: All shows/podcasts archived at SoundCloud! https://soundcloud.com/user-42674753\\nGrassRoot Ohio is now on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/.../grassroot-ohio/id1522559085\\nThis GrassRoot Ohio interview can also be found on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAX2t1Z7_qae803BzDF4PtQ/\\n\\nIntro and Exit music for GrassRoot Ohio is "Resilient" by Rising Appalachia: https://youtu.be/tx17RvPMaQ8\\n\\nThere\'s a time to listen and learn, a time to organize and strategize, And a time to Stand Up/ Fight Back!'
