Hosted by United Workers of Baltimore City.

“United Not Blighted” is a community event in Baltimore supporting United Workers’ 20/20 vision for the city, which includes funding for Community Land Trusts and to support urban agriculture and green space. Truth Commissioners will come from around the country to hear testimony about housing, displacement, and how people across Baltimore are coming up with and fighting for solutions to the problems in their city.

“Youth experiencing homelessness, artists evicted from living and work spaces, residents forced out by environmental injustice, renters struggling with substandard conditions, homeowners facing the crisis of foreclosure – these are some of the stories of displacement we live everyday. At the same time the creativity, passion and spirit inside us is creating another story – one of hope for housing, jobs and environmental sustainability. Join hundreds of residents and over 150 endorsers of the 20/20 Campaign to call on Mayor Pugh and city leadership to adopt the 20/20 vision.”
