Dear Clevelanders,
This week, I held my 2021 virtual Managers Budget Meeting where I
discussed challenges that the City of Cleveland faced in 2020 and
shared the 2021 budget estimates with the City’s management teams in
departments throughout the City. In addition, we livestreamed the
2021 Managers Budget Meeting on the City of Cleveland Facebook page.

The 2021 City of Cleveland Black History Month celebration kicks
off on Monday, Feb. 1 at noon with a virtual opening ceremony. This
year’s theme, “Strengthening Black Families Through the Quest for
Equity and Equality,” celebrates the contributions and achievements
made by residents and leaders in the Black community with a series
of virtual events. All of these virtual events are free and open to
the public.
Each year, our Black History Month celebration serves to recognize
Cleveland’s long-standing history of Black leadership and honor
Black individuals who contribute to our city’s legacy of cultural
diversity and equality. We continue this tradition by celebrating
the men and women of the Black community who strive to make
Cleveland a great place to live, work, play and do businesses, for
our residents and their families.
Some of the events, though virtual, offer Facebook Live viewers the
opportunity to interact with panelists by asking questions in the
comments. Click here to view a calendar of events. Please note that
some events will be livestreamed to Facebook and some will be
available to the public via WebEx, though registration is required
via Eventbrite. To participate in Facebook events, visit the City of
Cleveland Facebook page at www.facebook.com/CityofCleveland. To join

I want to remind you all that the pandemic is not over. As we
continue our plan to distribute COVID-19 vaccines, I urge you to
remain vigilant by washing your hands, maintaining six feet of
social distance, staying home whenever possible and wearing a mask.
