Franklin Square residents wanted a stop sign at Calhoun & Fayette for decades. Three weeks ago, 60 residents/allies shared why. After meetings with @MayorBMScott @BmoreCityDOT and BUILD’s action, there’s a new stop sign! Grateful for this big step forward. #MakeFreedomConcrete

Over two days, Metro IAF leaders from @metroiafny & @BUILDBaltimore brought together more than 4,000 people for nonpartisan actions to celebrate results & press public officials for concrete commitments. This is democracy in action.

BIG DAY! Today, the Fair Chance Housing Law goes into effect, making it possible for the more than 1 million people with a record to have a fairer shot at housing by regulating landlords’ use of background checks. Thanks to partners & legislative leaders who made this possible!
