Speak for Peace
Speak for Peace is a street-level campaign for peace, featuring the voices and faces of Baltimoreans impacted by and fighting against street violence. First launched in a Fall 2019 Baltimore Youth Film Arts workshop, the ongoing project shares the messages of mediators, community leaders, and ordinary citizens through posters and QR code-accessible videos.
