Office of Baltimore City Council

We understand that the events from today may be hard for some to understand but, you do not have to suffer alone. Call 988 to speak with someone today.

CIAA week is upon us! No city in America can appreciate, love, and celebrate this tournament the way Baltimore does and we’re honored to roll out the red carpet!

1/2 What a historic moment! @MayorBMScott signed our Inclusionary Housing Package into law this afternoon! I’m humbled by the QB @Lj_era8 comparison. Thank you to the advocates…

We wanted to ensure that the hard-working men and women of Baltimore and their children get to grow up, live, work and play in communities that were intended for ALL of us, paid for by ALL of us. That’s why this inclusionary housing legislation is so historic.

This afternoon, I was joined by @odetteramos, @Nick_Mosby, housing advocates, and community leaders to sign into law Council Bills 22-0195 and 23-0369.

Thank you @MayorBMScott Council Prez @Nick_Mosby & Councilwoman @odetteramos, who steered the bills to passage. And much gratitude to the amazing @baltimore_ihc & everyone who joined in pushing #Baltimore toward becoming a more equitable & inclusive City!

What a pleasure it was to spend an afternoon with the amazing @AaronMMaybin celebrating his art installation of the Diary Of A Mad Black Man exhibition at the Frederick Douglass Issac Meyers Museum! Congratulations Aaron!!

Complacency is the enemy of progress. While we achieved historic gun violence reductions in 2023, we know we have work to do to ensure a sustainable reduction in 2024.

This weekend the Loch Raven Improvement Association hosted their holiday gathering at Immanuel Lutheran Church, and I caught up with neighbors and celebrated the spirit of Christmas! They had holiday treats, music, and Santa even brought his fire truck out for the occasion.🚒🎅

It has been several years in the making, but it was certainly worth the wait! Today, we attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Baltimore's newest 21st-century school, Cross Country Elementary Middle School.

Our list of folks who helped make Council President @Nick_Mosby's 3rd annual Toy Drive a HIT last night is way too long for one post. But just know we are so very grateful to everyone who came out and donated, performed, and shared a great night with us!

Our city's Older Adults Thriving Summit was a hit! We stand on the shoulders of the generations who came before us, and their sacrifices have paved the way for us to thrive. It was an honor to celebrate and learn from them.

The leaders and innovators who take part in the LEAD Program are an inspiration for their peers and their determination inspires us here at City Hall. Congratulations, graduates!

Great to join Turell Brooks and the God's Best Family team along with Council President Mosby this weekend. The City Council secured a $100k appropriation during the budget this year to support their critical work providing mentorship to our kids in Sharp Leadenhall.

Today, December 10th marks 3 years of serving as your Councilwoman! It’s the toughest job I've ever had, but the one I love the most. I’m honored and grateful for the opportunity. Here are a few highlights from this past year! odetteramos14.com

We are one week away from Council President @Nick_Mosby's 3rd Annual Toy Drive & Holiday Celebration and we need your help to make this holiday special for Baltimore City Youth by donating non-violent toys for children ages 2-12 years old!

'Tis the season! Thanks to everyone who enjoyed yesterday's holiday parade with us in Hampden!

Engines 29 and 46 have been through excruciating heartbreak in the last few months. Council President @Nick_Mosby & VP @CCMiddleton6 were happy to bring some food and enjoy a peaceful afternoon with these firehouse families.

Our Council President @Nick_Mosby joined @TJSmithSocial on @wbalradio today to explain the simplicity and importance of local control: our city taxpayers and the elected officials they vote for should have more say in the policies of the police department serving our city.

During the Civil War, the state took control of Baltimore City’s police force to prevent them from becoming a militia. But control was never fully returned to the city for over 150 years. We hope to change that in the coming weeks.
