A Better Cleveland for All is a political action committee (PAC) organized by Cleveland residents who are members of the Cuyahoga County Progressive Caucus (CCPC). We believe our current city government lacks the leadership and vision to address the issues it faces. We work to foster public discussion of key issues in our city and to elect progressive candidates to Cleveland City Council.
At A Better Cleveland for All, we believe political campaigns should be publicly financed to reduce the influence of big money in politics. Until that happens, however, a grassroots PAC like ours can help level the playing field against the unfair influence of wealthy corporate interests.
We follow these guidelines for equitable, democratic fundraising:
• We don’t accept donations from corporations or corporate PACs.
• We don’t accept donations from business owners who have an obvious stake in city policy or contracts.
• We don’t accept donations over $1,000 per year.
We welcome small donations from individuals who support progressive change in Cleveland!
Promote a discussion of a progressive agenda for our city. Beginning in August 2020, we held a number of public forums to get community input on issues we will support in the coming election. These forums focused on issues ranging from progressive economic development to public safety and the nuts and bolts of how to run for office.
Identify and encourage new progressive candidates for Mayor and City Council to step forward. We already have identified 10-12 progressive candidates. Learn more about our endorsed candidates here.
Support candidates with technical support and early seed money for their campaigns. We have begun to provide technical assistance to several candidates, and in early 2021, we plan workshops on how to run successful campaigns.
Make endorsement decisions to provide greater support to candidates running strong, progressive campaigns. Support will include additional funds and volunteer campaign assistance by CCPC activists.
