Not for Sale: Labor, Faith, and Community Organizing for an Equitable Baltimore City
Red Emma's 3128 Greenmount Ave, Baltimore, MDEveryone in Baltimore City should have a say in how our city is run, and all of us should be able to thrive here. But some wealthy special interests and real estate developers are trying to use the ballot box to control Baltimore and slash City services and jobs. We won't let that happen.
Join faith, labor, and community leaders from the Baltimore City Is Not For Sale campaign, along with City Councilmember Odette Ramos, for a panel discussion on right-wing efforts to dismantle Baltimore's safety net and City Council and what we can do together to fight back. We'll learn about dangerous amendments that may be on the ballot this November, and how solidarity across communities can create a positive vision of Baltimore for everyone, not just the wealthy few.
