Related Action for May: Govans Ecumenical Development Corporation (GEDCO)/CARES:
GEDCO/CARES provides about 4,100 people with emergency food and financial aid every year along with permanent housing services and job placement assistance. The inspiration for GEDCO began in 1984, when seven pastors of different denominations along the York Road corridor got together to address the housing crisis for older adults in northern Baltimore City. GEDCO was incorporated as a nonprofit in 1991 and opened CARES in 1994. Thirty-one years later, the need for emergency food and financial assistance is greater than ever with the cuts to governmental assistance programs proposed and enacted by the current administration.
WHY WE RALLY
All Lives Can't Matter Until Black Lives Matter! Immigrants Are Welcomed Here!
"Freedom is not a state; it is an act. It is not some enchanted garden perched high on a distant plateau where we can finally sit down and rest. Freedom is the continuous action we all must take, and each generation must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society.”
– From John Lewis' 2017 memoir, "Across That Bridge: A Vision for Change and the Future of America"
