A Louisville group met Tuesday evening for a discussion aimed at creating real change for residents.
Citizens of Louisville Organized and United Together (CLOUT) organized the meeting.
CLOUT is made up of 33 church congregations around the city and is aimed at holding officials accountable.
One major focus Tuesday was on policing, especially when it comes to transparency with the community. Organizers said when leaders won’t make change, discussions like this can help create it.
“Politicians look out and see the amount of people that are there, they’re counting votes. So we’re holding them accountable. If you aren’t going to do what we asked you to do, we’re not going to put you in office,” said Jonathan Berkley, president of CLOUT.
Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg also attended the meeting. CLOUT asked for Greenberg to make a commitment that changes made by the Louisville Metro Police Department will address patterns of abuse and discrimination, which he did.
