According to the Cincinnati Post, Democratic Party presidential candidate Rev. Al Sharpton will be at Joseph-Beth bookstore tomorrow (Friday) from 2:30 to 4:00 p.m. for a book signing.  Joseph-Beth is located in the Rookwood Pavilion in Norwood.

The Coalition For A Just Cincinnati (CJC) will be there to collect signatures on the "Citizen Empowerment and City Council Neighborhood District Act".  We are trying to do two major things. First, we want to change the Charter of Cincinnati to allow us to recall the mayor. Second, we want to change the way we elect council members from at- large to neighborhood districts.

The CJC wrote letters to Rev. Sharpton and the other 9 presidential candidates last week asking them to demand an immediate justice department investigation into the beating death of Nathaniel Jones by Cincinnati police officers.
