@BaltimoreBanner Hoping for the best this time around. Too many children enter this world in poverty . Every little bit that helps reduce that poverty is a good thing.
Having the Baby Bonus pulled from the ballot last year was the lowest point of my advocacy career.
But the fight continues! I’m so excited to get back out in the community.
In a big win for persons with mobility disabilities, Baltimore agrees to spend $44 million on ADA-compliant ramps and sidewalks. https://t.co/LfDos7JUSa Sandtown-Winchester resident Keyonna Mayo, shown here, is one of the plaintiffs who sued the city in 2021.
Thiru Vignarajah, representing opponents of Harborplace redevelopment, says he only thought of his strategy watching city attorneys use it against Renew Baltimore & Baby Bonus

Baby Bonus Fund won't be on the ballot but, my opinion, teachers who organized for it should be commended. So what's next?

We are firing on all forces for the next legislative session. We've got an incredibly well researched policy report, a bill draft ready to go, and an army of grassroots organizers ready to demand our legislators do more to support Maryland families.
Knocking doors in North Baltimore to defeat bad ballot measures.
Vote NO on cutting property taxes by 40%. If you like having safety, schools and roads this is the wrong approach.
Vote NO on shrinking the City Council in half. We deserve great constituent services.
Baltimore is not for sale!
Yesterday the mayor’s office informed us that the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore filed a lawsuit to remove the Baltimore Baby Bonus from the ballot.
We are fully confident that the courts will reject this attack on democracy.

@blanchard4bmore Indeed the r/Baltimore folks were great when i did my AMA. I was worried from the Reddit horror stories that it would have been less than pleasant, but it turned out to be a very nice experience.
Not sure whether it would help boost turnout, but now is as good a time as any to consider moving to literally any other type of electoral system, because a:
-plurality-winner primary system
- 6 months before the general
- in a one-party state
Was already antiquated 50 years ago
Looks like only myself and Dixon are the only mayoral candidates to have put up signs up at the a solo Gibbs rec center in sharp leadenhall. I have no staff to put up signs, what is the excuse for the other big mayoral candidates.
