Thank you! Thanks to your support we've been able to do some amazing organizing here in Baltimore. Our city is facing a major housing crisis. The city and the Federal government have struck a deal to sell off most of the public housing in our district to wealthy developers. People are outraged that the establishment Democrats in power are allowing this to happen! So we're organizing, and when we organize and empower people to demand the right to housing, we can't lose.
