Trumps Deportation Threat: A Warning for Black America. Trumps deportation plans target home-grown criminals echoing a history of racial bias. The 13th Amendments exception for convicted criminals disproportionately impacts Black Americans. Is this a threat to Black freedom?

This is tonight, 7pm at @urbanreadsbooks.bsky.social! I'm so excited to moderate this conversation. These folks have experienced the world as it is, and responded by creating the world as it should be, in Baltimore and beyond.
I am moderating this conversation at next week's #WestWednesday at @urbanreadsbooks.bsky.social. Come hear what these extraordinary folks have to say about turning grief into action!

Our non-profit anchor institutions earn profits, but don't have to pay taxes. It costs Baltimore City at least $41 million dollars per year. Residents and small businesses pay property taxes towards city services and so should they! Every dollar that they don't contribute is covered by taxpayers.

Folks in Baltimore City are organizing to improve the Payment in Lieu of Taxes PILOT process that is currently used to negotiate with wealthy universities and hospitals to have them provide some sort of $$$ contribution for their use of public resources. Plz join & support an improved PILOT process!
