“To fulfill the dreams of so many—Blacks, Whites, Asian Americans, Native Americans, Latinos—we must not let those dreams and the hopes of so many be abandoned or die. In spite of all of the progress that was made—and we’ve made progress, we’ve come a distance—we still have a distance to go.”
—U.S. Rep. John Lewis
We pledge to go that distance—joined by our partners, led by our youth, powered by love.
This summer, we launched GO THE DISTANCE BMORE!, a campaign to inspire, encourage and support Baltimore’s young people as we continue to transition into our new, virtual normal and our youth continue to lead our city’s fight for what is right and what is just.
The campaign:
- Curates across a broad partner network and promotes activities, events, resources and opportunities for youth spanning four focus areas, or pillars: learning & enrichment, health & wellness, culture & creativity and civic engagement & racial equity
- Encourages young people through inspiring messages and youth-centered stories
The strength of #gothedistancebmore rests with our five Youth Champions who are informing and helping design it—thank you Francisco, Deanna, Devine, AI and Nell!—and our dozens of partners who work daily to lift up our youth and whose program offerings are the heart and soul of the campaign.
