To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing to you as a resident of Baltimore who is concerned about the unconstitutional and discriminatory behavior of the Baltimore Police Department (BPD). I have a vested interested in the consent decree and in ensuring that the voices of impacted residents are heard throughout the process. To that end (include your thoughts or Sample Talking Points from below here.)

Sincerely,

This past Mother's Day, BALT worked with nearly two dozen local and national groups across the country to come together for the first ever National Mamas Bail Out Day. This historic event bailed out Black mothers so they could be reunited with their families and communities for Mother’s Day. BALT was able to successfully raise over $25,000 and bail out 10 individuals in time for the holiday. During the month of June, BALT aims to continue to free Black fathers, mothers, and members of the LGBTQ community in solidarity with Fathers day, Juneteenth, and Pride. Once again, we can't do it without your support. Consider donating to our bail out fund to help reunite families.
