Cleveland, Ohio-The protest against Cleveland NAACP President George Forbes (pictured) has been postponed until March 13 at 5:00 pm at Cleveland NAACP headquarters, 2131 Stokes Blvd in Cleveland, after a thunder and lightning storm forced community activists to cut a protest held today short.

Contact persons for the upcoming protest are Ada Averyhart at 216-938-7891, Marva Patterson at 216-334-7013 and Imperial Women Leader Kathy Wray Coleman at 216-932-3114.

Some 13 activists from the Imperial Women, Stop Targeting Ohio's Poor and People for the Imperial Act gathered at 4: 45 pm today, 10 more came later, and others were on hold, but lightning and thunder storms forced them to cancel the gathering, even as Cleveland News Net 5 was on its way with a camera person.

"We will protest before the regular NAACP meeting on March 13, go inside for support on our issues, and then return back to picket if they refuse to help us," said Community Activist Ada Averyhart.

The activist groups that include men say that Forbes and Cleveland NAACP officials are selling out the Black community and will not speak up on issues from the Imperial Ave. Murders, to theft of Black people's homes via illegal foreclosures by county officials and judges, to the malicious prosecutions and illegal jailing of innocent Black men, women, girls and community activists.

Forbes is also under fire for promoting Tim McGinty for Cuyahoga County prosecutor, even with his hostile record as a former judge and assistant county prosecutor who maliciously prosecuted Blacks and women, and harassed  them.

Community activists say that he is giving McGinty special attention while Blacks and other minorities running for office for the March 6, 2012 Democratic primary have taken a back  seat, allegedly in exchange for bond counsel contracts on county projects for his law firm if McGinty wins.
