We just released the full platform for our campaign and it's already getting rave reviews. The Baltimore Sun called it:
"...an extensive set of policy proposals on education, economic development, public safety, health, the environment, arts and more that at least rival — and in some cases easily surpass — those from so-called mainstream candidates in their depth and scope."
This is a great start, and now we need to tell Baltimore voters about our ideas. The more voters who learn about what I can do as mayor, the more likely we'll win.
Can you chip in $5 to our campaign right now so we can talk to Baltimore voters about these ideas?
This is a plan to change Baltimore in order to make it a place that works for people. Here's some of what we're going to do.
Education & Youth Development: I believe that every student in the city of Baltimore should have access to a dynamic, high quality education that prepares each child for college or a career. That's why in my first 100 days as mayor we would start the process to create matched savings accounts and/or college savings accounts for every child.
Safety: Our communities must be safe for our communities to thrive. I understand that issues of safety are more expansive than policing. But it is true that for kids to go school they must be alive and for adults to work they must not be in jail. We will immediately train first-responders to de-escalate situations in the community and make public safety reforms a priority.
Health: For our city to thrive, we must be a healthy city – our residents must have access to nutritious food, must live in homes free of environmental hazards, and must have access to quality healthcare. We're going to make sure that there's a grocery store nearby for every resident, and make sure every eligible resident has health care coverage.
This is a bold agenda, and one that Baltimore needs. But if we're going to make this a reality, I need to know you're with me in support of this platform.
Please contribute $5 to support our agenda for Baltimore and help us win this campaign.
Best,
DeRay Mckesson
