Big-City Mayors

When it comes to public safety in Baltimore, he should turn off the right-wing propaganda and look at the facts. Baltimore is the safest it's been in over 50 years.

We are all in this together. Only together can we continue to build on and sustain these achievements.

We do not need, nor want, an unconstitutional and illegal military occupation of our city.

We will use the courts if that’s necessary.
