The Ohio Coalition to End Qualified Immunity (OCEQI) is on a vital mission, and we need your support! We are currently collecting signatures statewide for our **Wrongful Conviction Amendment**—a crucial step toward addressing systemic racism and injustice within our legal system.
If you would like to physically sign the petition or volunteer your time to help with this important initiative, please reach out to me directly. Your involvement can make a significant difference in our fight for justice.
You can read the summary language of the amendment and learn more about our mission on The OCEQI website. This amendment is more than just a piece of legislation; it is a fundamental call to action to end systemic racism in Ohio.
Cleveland, Ohio, is unfortunately ranked among the top ten cities for wrongful convictions, with alarming rates of prosecutorial misconduct and inadequate defense. These issues have ruined countless innocent lives, and this is simply unacceptable. Our coalition believes that by passing this amendment, we can take significant strides toward preventing wrongful convictions, holding those in power accountable, and ultimately saving lives throughout Ohio.
This movement is historical and necessary—not just for Ohio, but as a model that can be used by other states facing similar challenges. Together, we can create a ripple effect of change that reaches far beyond our borders.
Join us in this critical fight for justice and equality. Every signature counts, and every volunteer makes a difference. Let’s work together to ensure that our legal system serves all people fairly and justly.
