Baltimore WWP candidates wage petition blitz

Baltimore volunteer petitioners are joined by Workers World Party Presidential Candidate Monica Moorehead and WWP First Secretary Larry Holmes. The group pictured, along with others, were at the weekend ­African American Festival called AFRAM. They were there to sign up Baltimore voters to gain ballot access for local WWP candidates Andre Powell for mayor and Sharon Black for city council president. Hundreds of copies of Workers World newspapers were distributed, along with copies of a proposed local “Freddie Gray Justice Bill,” which would empower communities to disband racist police. Local activists declared the weekend a resounding success.
