Our Next Rally!!
Our Next Rally: Sunday December 21st!
From 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. at 825 E. Fort Avenue, between Federal Hill and Locus Point in Baltimore.
In early November, residents of Federal Hill found KKK flyers in their neighborhood. The flyers appeared to be targeting students from Digital Harbor HS. Flyers were also found in Cherry Hill. The IC4BL planning committee has wanted to hold a rally in Federal Hill but we know parking is difficult. The location of our December Rally (past Federal Hill and on the way to Locust Point) has a parking lot near a McDonald's with a public sidewalk in front where we will hold the rally.
Our Related Action for December: The Beatitude Project
The Beatitude Project (a joint project of St. Matthew and St. Francis of Assisi Catholic churches) provides assistance at Christmas to families in Northeast Baltimore City. In addition to turkey, produce and canned goods, the project hopes to add a gift card for each child (under 15 years) and senior (over 65 years) to purchase extra food or gifts. You can send a check to St. Francis of Assisi, 3617 Harford Road, Baltimore, MD 21218. Please mark the check "Christmas gift cards." You can also donate online HERE (click on Poor Box fund). If you have questions, email: socialjustice.sfa@gmail.com

A new addition this year to the Thanksgiving baskets were handmade potholders for each family! Read more about the Thanksgiving Potholder Project HERE.
This was our fifth year of providing 35 Baltimore City Public School families a complete Thanksgiving meal and food for the holiday weekend!
