Yesterday the Baltimore City Mayor's Office of LGBTQ Affairs joined Mayor Brandon Scott, The Mayor's Office of Community Affairs, The Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement, and councilman Jermaine Jones as we canvassed the Barclay Neighborhood following the killing of Sophie Lee.

As our communities continue to grieve, it is important to be present. We listened to residents, shared resources, and connected community members with City services. These conversations help us better understand the needs of the neighborhood and strengthen our collective approach to safety, healing, and violence prevention.

Mayor Scott was clear, that attacks against the LGBTQIA+ community, including disproportionate violence against Black trans women, has no place in Baltimore City.
