RUNNING THE NEXT LEG OF THE RACE, TOGETHER.
The Relay Cleveland campaign is the result of a shared vision, deep collaboration, and the unwavering commitment of those who believe in a more just and equitable future for Cleveland.
The Relay Cleveland Campaign Committee brings together a diverse group of leaders, researchers, educators, and organizations committed to advancing equity in Cleveland.
Drawing from their expertise, the committee examines how the legacies of segregation continue to shape Cleveland’s schools and communities. They invite us to learn from history, confront ongoing inequities, and imagine new possibilities for educational justice, running the next leg of the race together.
