Since the new year, The Baltimore Banner’s coverage of Israel’s continuing war on Gaza, and the injustices destroying Palestinian homes and livelihoods in the West Bank, has diminished dramatically. I assure you that people in Baltimore crave a trusted source to get current news from afar as well as addressing the very personal and social suffering and sense of helplessness in our city that I hear about daily.

We need to learn about Baltimore gatherings, protests, and — especially — the efforts to bring people together to grieve, to share ways to put our anger, frustration, confusion and compassion into action supporting a just end to the continuing — even growing — violence against innocent people.
