BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD

Are you looking for a way to make a difference in your community and country? Do you want to know more about the issues that face us?

We are Marylanders building a sustainable movement for equity and integrity. Join us as we work toward a social justice agenda, and elect leaders who will stand up for our values.

Be the Change can help connect you with others who share your passion for social change.

WHAT WE DO AND HOW WE STARTED

Be the Change was formed in late 2017 by Jennifer Downs and Betsy Krieger, two Baltimore activists who recognized the need to give people simple options to become politically active.

The mission of Be the Change is to connect our large community of concerned and dedicated activists to organizations, movements and candidates promoting social, racial and climate justice at all levels of government. We are particularly committed to ongoing learning about the root causes of inequality, and to acknowledging historical trauma stemming from racism.

BLACK LIVES MATTER

The recent deaths of Black men and women by police has for some reinforced what we already knew and for others, opened our eyes to a situation that must change. The Campaign for Justice Safety and Jobs is a local coalition of groups working on issues of police accountability. Read more to learn about some of the groups that are members of the coalition, and join and/or donate to one or more of these groups to help reform and redirect some of the Baltimore Police Department funds.
