In a time of crisis, solidarity grows between Black and Latino activists in Baltimore

In a time of crisis, Black and Latino activists in Baltimore are increasingly working together in fighting for a range of social justice issues. Grassroots advocates say it wasn’t always this way, but after the death of Freddie Gray in 2015, some activists started to reach out. Today, key leaders in these communities are working together on digital and school equity, police reform and other challenges. They’re on Zoom calls, in meetings, at protests, and confronting past biases and tensions that have kept them apart.
