​

Good morning, Cuyahoga County. In a heartwarming display of community resilience, more than $216,000 has been raised for the four children of Donald and Maria Nunney, the Cleveland teachers who tragically lost their lives in a North Carolina crash while taking their son to college. As this family faces an unimaginable journey ahead, the outpouring of support demonstrates the deep bonds that connect us when tragedy strikes closest to home.

Meanwhile, two significant initiatives are addressing very different community challenges. Jewish parents will soon have new tools to combat school antisemitism through AJC Cleveland's "Empowered Parents" forums, designed to bridge generational gaps in understanding today's climate. And in the realm of public trust, state representatives have proposed legislation banning lawmakers from accepting free professional sports tickets — a timely ethical discussion following the state's $600 million commitment to the Cleveland Browns' stadium project.

☕️ What's Brewing Locally

🕍 Jewish parents get new tools to fight school antisemitism. AJC Cleveland is hosting "Empowered Parents" forums on September 3-4 to equip parents with strategies for advocating against antisemitism in educational settings. The sessions will cover both public and private schools, teaching parents how to work collaboratively with administrators to create safer environments for Jewish students. Experts note today's students face normalized antisemitism and social media harassment their parents never experienced. The forums aim to help bridge this generational gap while empowering parents to support their children's Jewish identity.

🏟️ Ohio lawmakers face ticket ban after $600 million stadium deal. Two Democratic state representatives have proposed legislation prohibiting Ohio lawmakers from accepting free or discounted professional sports tickets, citing ethical concerns following the state's commitment to the Cleveland Browns' new stadium. Sean Brennan and Karen Brownlee argue that accepting such perks creates conflicts of interest, especially when team owners like the Haslams are major political donors. While Ohio's ethics laws already broadly prohibit officials from accepting "anything of value" from improper sources, the new bill would create explicit restrictions for major professional sports leagues. The proposal aims to restore public trust, though a review of recent ethics filings showed minimal current abuse of such privileges.
