AKRON, Ohio — Spectrum News 1 brings you our Voices for Change series, where activists, leaders, and community members share what has brought them to action and how addressing racial discrimination will create a better world for everyone.
As President of the Akron City Council, Margot Sommerville wants to ensure that the violence inflicted on George Floyd doesn’t happen in her community and she’s taken legislative steps to find common agreement on community policing and accountability.
In her experience, change can happen in meetings and through policy but it’s also important to get out and talk to people.
