June 14 – Federal worker speaks at Baltimore “No Kings” rally. At least 5,000 filled Patterson Park. Many marchers carried signs for Palestine and chanted “ICE out of Baltimore!” Local activists also responded with “No U.S.-Israeli War on Iran!” SLL photo
June 14 – During the “No Kings” march, the Peoples Power Assembly opposed to U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. PPA organizer Sharon Black said, “This war’s not in the interests of U.S. workers and the poor. People in this country can’t afford food, health care, and shelter, and they’re stealing more of our money to give to the banks and weapons’ manufacturers. They’re killing in our name while making us poorer!” SLL photo
June 14 – This marks the second straight year in Baltimore Pride’s history that such a pro-Palestine contingent has participated. PPA activists held a large Palestine flag along with banners saying, “No Pride in Genocide, $$ for Gender-Affirming Healthcare, not War,” “Stonewall Still Means Fight Back,” and “Black Trans Lives Matter – ‘Be yourself, the world will adjust’ – Manabi Bandyopadhyay.” SLL photo
