COLUMBUS, Ohio - Youngstown’s Jamael Tito Brown will join mayors from five other Ohio cities on Wednesday to address racial injustice and police reforms in the state.

The 11:30 a.m. video news conference will also announce the launch of a new effort by the Ohio Mayor’s Alliance to help implement public safety reforms in cities.

The effort comes after the public outcry following the death of George Floyd during his arrest in Minneapolis.

In addition to Mayor Brown, those taking part in the news conference include Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan; Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley; Columbus Mayor Andrew J. Ginther; Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley; and Toledo Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz.

The Ohio Mayors Alliance is a bipartisan coalition of Mayors in over two dozen of Ohio’s largest cities.

The Alliance’s priorities include community reinvestment, supporting infrastructure needs, confronting the addiction crisis, addressing gun violence, improving educational opportunities, and advancing clean energy solutions.
