WHERE IS THE MONEY?

WHERE AREN’T AFRICAN AMERICANS, PEOPLE OF COLOR, AND WORK
CHALLENGED AMERICANS AT THE TABLE?
The video speaks of money-money-money with face-after face of Caucasians
taking and giving to themselves. NO ACCOUNTABILTY HERE.

FRIENDS OF PUBLIC POLICY/FPP look at the FEDS – A central

bank, reserve bank, or monetary authority is an institution that manages the currency
and monetary policy of a country or monetary union and oversees their commercial
banking system. In contrast to a commercial bank, a central bank possesses a
monopoly on increasing the monetary base. Wikipedia
The new ANNOUNCEMENT APRIL & MAY 2023 by FPP of the 14-communities
served by Bedford Municipal Court, 165 Clay Road, Bedford, Ohio 44146 is to
create the framework for infrastructural improvements of the demographic
populations stuck in poverty and without WEALTH ASSETS for quality of life and
economic development roots for self-sustainability.
These are the folks that complete the Bedford Municipal Court docket of 200 people

DEI
FPP seeks diversity – equity – inclusion. The organization chart is void of color.
WHY?
“Whatever the reason, the change is NOW,” said Mary Glass, Chief Visionary Officer
of Friends of Public Policy. “We start with laying the foundation of people.
=================
We are:
• FRIENDS OF PUBLIC POLICY
• VETERANS UNITED
• THE LAWYER POSSE - a group of people who have a common
characteristic, occupation, or purpose for legal representation of the
Evicted and/or homeless.
==================
We SHARE the models and concepts that call for trustworthiness and accountability
of the 14 mayors, their council members, and the judicial setup at Bedford
Municipal Court.
We look closely at the configuration of who is at the table for mayor, council
member, judge, magistrate, bailiff, law director, prosecutor, city manager, city clerk
for starters.

We start with the Federal Reserve Bank in Cleveland, OH and a deep-dive of their
2008 case studies across America. We REVISIT-REVISIT-REVISIT the Brookings
Institution and Federal Reserve case study of ENDURING CONCENTRATED
POVERTY, part 1 and the Enduring Challenge of Concentrated Poverty in America,
part 2.
Secondly, FRONTLINE has documentaries that we are using to look at critical
issues like FACING EVICTION. A REPORT ABOUT FAMILIES - mothers, single-parent
mothers, landlords, moratoriums, court mandates, staggering high rent,
INCONSISTENCY IN GUIDELINES, and lack of information in CA, TEXAS, PA, OH,
AND IL.

We, THE People, must view the video at the top of this report called, “AGE of
Easy Money” for perspective and context of the public square that the 14
mayors and city council are to bring to the table for their constituents.

Below is the PROMISE of the Ohio State bar.

At the Ohio State Bar Association, we see inclusion and diversity as central
to not only our organization, but to the legal profession. We believe in the
power of inclusive and diverse perspectives, and we are focused on creating
an environment where everyone is treated equally, with dignity and respect.
#2
Our commitment is to support the legal community in its aspirational goal of
bringing together people of diverse backgrounds, traditions, and personal
experiences.

#3
But full diversity cannot be achieved without inclusion. This is the
cornerstone of fairness and respect because inclusion is about making all
people count and providing an environment where people can do their best
work. Inclusion drives engagement and motivation. When fully included, we
feel informed, appreciated, and part of something important.

#4
We’ve seen numerous studies and data points of one ethnic group being
chosen over another, of one gender being favored time and time again. We’ve
also seen how those viewpoints are beginning to change. People across the
country and around the world are now recognizing that organizations do
perform better when they are more diverse. And when a broad pool of
perspectives and knowledge is available, we are smarter, have more authentic
interactions and make better decisions.

#5
At the OSBA, we have taken the initiative to address diversity within our
organization—and within the legal profession. Our employees come from
different backgrounds, countries, genders and sexual orientation. We
encourage others in the profession to follow suit. By fostering an inclusive
culture, we attract and retain people who will grow our own organization,
while strengthening the legal profession overall.

#6
Led by our standing Advisory Council on Diversity Initiatives (ACDI), the
OSBA also serves as a convener and educator, hosting implicit bias and other
training, and offering resources to legal professionals who want to lead and
make a difference.

#7
Our focus on diversity and inclusion continues to drive our commitment of
fairness, equality and putting people first.

Together we can make a difference
