For the first time since 1970, we ended the month of May with just 8 homicides, the first single-digit May homicide total recorded in more than five decades.
While one life lost is still one too many, this milestone reflects the progress Baltimore is making and the lives being saved across our city.
This isn't luck, it is the result of intentional work across BPD, prosecutors, and our violence prevention ecosystem.

Baltimore homeowners, you've been waiting, and now the wait is over! We're lowering property taxes!
Homeowners will see the first reduction this year, followed by even larger reductions in the years ahead.

Let me reiterate, this type of enforcement is not welcome in Baltimore. The presence of ICE has not made our city any safer, and in fact has led to greater fear and anxiety, especially for our immigrant neighbors.
I stand with our immigrant families who have been impacted by detentions. If your loved one has been arrested by ICE, I encourage you to call 888-214-6016.
Help is available through my Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs.

When your opponents attack each other, get out of their way and let them! When former Trump aide Caroline Sunshine laid into Trump donor Hal Lambert about Trump’s disastrous Iran war, I crossed my arms and enjoyed the show. @ananavarrofl tried to keep a stunned @lzgranderson quiet to let them go at it. I wish I had popcorn. And, Caroline wasn’t wrong. Bravo! They fight, we win.

When members of the press don't do basic research and use the arrest of one Black man to drag another through the mud, it seems to me like this is an intentional attack on our community and Black-led nonviolence work in Baltimore and across the country.

To all of our @BaltCitySchools High School graduates, this is just the beginning. As you walk into this next chapter, keep dreaming big, keep working hard, and keep proving the naysayers wrong by showing them who Baltimore’s young people really are. 🎓

Please see my statement on the arrest of Safe Streets worker Antoine Burton. We will continue to hold our Safe Streets teams to the highest standards for conduct, and they will continue their lifesaving work to prevent violence and uplift our communities.

Despite historic progress, we continue to lose far too many residents to gun violence here in Baltimore and across the country. These are families that will never again be whole, young people who will never get the chance to grow into their best selves, mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, friends and family.
This National Gun Violence Awareness Day we stand together against violence in our communities and recommit ourselves to the work of advancing public safety across our neighborhoods.

It is shameful that the Trump Administration is—yet again—attempting to strip health care coverage for millions of working people, including many here in Baltimore.
Quality health care should be a basic right for every citizen, and we will continue to fight against any attempt to slash lifesaving benefits under the ACA.
The Trump-Vance admin’s new policy is an attack on Americans’ healthcare that would deny coverage to millions, increase insurance premiums, and raise out-of-pocket costs.
We’ve won in court before, and we’ll do it again to protect access to affordable healthcare.
ALT We’re suing to protect the Affordable Care Act.

Black Fathers despite the rumors are more involved with their kids than their counterparts. Black Baltimore fathers have another level of fatherhood swag and this event is a place for us to display that and fellowship with each other.

We are witnessing a targeted, systematic effort to roll back rights and freedoms that our ancestors fought and died to secure. Thankful to my sister and brother mayors who join in calling on Coroporate America to help Protect Voting Rights and Fair Representation in communities!

At Baer, students celebrated Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month by researching a country of their choice, creating informational posters, and in some cases wearing traditional clothing representing the country they studied. The activity gave students an opportunity to learn more about different cultures, histories, and traditions from across Asia and the Pacific Islands.

Since I took office in 2020, we have made record investments into Baltimore City Public Schools, and we aren’t stopping.
This FY27 Budget continues our commitment to @BaltCitySchools under the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future because every student deserves the support and resources that they need to reach their full potential.

For years, too many of our recreation facilities and pools were disinvested in. Now, we’ve changed that.
And with this budget we are going to continue to make historic investments into modernizing facilities across Baltimore.
