Friends,

I was honored to be invited to serve as one of the Grand Marshals for the 50th Anniversary of Baltimore Pride yesterday.

Allyship means showing up—loud, visible, and unwavering.

Yesterday, we marched not just in celebration, but in solidarity. There has never been a more important time for our City to show up for our LGBTQIA+ neighbors. While some people wage a campaign to erase the Trans community, in Baltimore, we just opened a new support center to provide housing and critical services to members of the LGBTQIA+ community. 

Together, we can keep making Baltimore a safe and welcoming place for everyone, no matter who they are or who they love.

Here’s to 50 years of Pride, progress, and power.

Happy Father’s Day,

-Zeke
