Last week, Cleveland Documenters covered a raucous Cleveland City Council meeting. Public comment was once again dominated by remarks about the conflict overseas. And, protesters disrupted the meeting with chants demanding Council call for a ceasefire in Gaza. Also, a council member spoke about her changed perspective after a recent trip to the U.S.-Mexico border. All the details in this week’s episode of the Public Meetings Report. 📻👇🏿
