One year ago yesterday, our late beloved brother David Mott joined with Tri-Chair Linnell Fall and others from the Maryland PPC, community members in Edmondson Village, Baltimore elected officials, and others as he spoke on why he was there, also bringing our partners the Bethesda African Cemetery Coalition into the story. "The community has to be centered in all the discussions about what happens here." #ForwardTogetherForever #WeWontBeSilentAnymore
The Maryland #poorpeoplescampaign and Baltimore community as a whole have just lost another justice warrior --and impacted member-- Evangeline Diggs. For decades before PPC, Ms. Van, as she is affectionately known, fought for the rights of Baltimore residents. As she says, even though tired, we must keep on fighting. We love you, Ms. Van! Rest in Power! #fightpovertynotourseniors #forwardtogetherforever
