Councilman Nick Mosby initiated the “Enough is Enough” peace and prayer walks in West Baltimore, while Councilman Brandon Scott and Munir Bahar have been at the helm of the 300 Men March movement spreading anti-violence messages throughout the neighborhoods in East Baltimore.

On the night of Friday August 9th, the two groups will meet up for a combined demonstration in West Baltimore, led by Councilman Mosby. In addition, the men will announce plans for the next mass 300 Men March which will be held on Friday August 23rd.
