Apartheid-Free Baltimore Coalition Statement -- Re: Baby's On Fire Closing Announcement The Apartheid Free Baltimore (AFB) Coalition opposes the abrupt closure following the workers’ petition filed with the NLRB last week for a union election of Baby's On Fire, a business that publicly committed to the principles of the Apartheid Free Baltimore campaign and the vision of making Baltimore an Apartheid-Free Zone by ending business relationships with corporations complicit in Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine. We stand in solidarity with the workers who began organizing to form a union a few weeks ago, and who are unjustly suffering the consequences of working toward their goal of a more just workplace. Our campaign is rooted in collective liberation, economic justice, and community accountability. We believe that workers have the fundamental right to organize, bargain collectively, and advocate for dignified working conditions without fear of retaliation. These values are inseparable from our commitment to challenging systems of oppression and exploitation, whether they occur globally or within our own city. The AFB pledge calls on institutions and businesses to reject practices that profit from domination, dispossession, and inequality. These principles should extend from illegally occupied lands of Palestine, to our own communities here in Baltimore. Meaningfully embodying these principles requires supporting the rights of working people to have a voice in decisions that affect their livelihoods. Worker self-determination, democratic participation, and collective power are essential components of any movement for justice. The Coalition for the Apartheid-Free Baltimore campaign remains committed to building a city where businesses, workers, and communities alike are guided by principles of human dignity, democratic participation, and collective liberation. We stand with the workers of Baby's On Fire and all those struggling for workplace justice.

Statement from Baltimore DSA celebrating Juneteenth and explaining its history and how it remains relevant to the Black struggle for racial justice to this day. Transcription: Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, commemorates the day Union soldiers enforced the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing the remaining enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas. While this only became a federal holiday in 2021, African American communities have celebrated the day for decades.
