This past weekend was the city's first Promise of Peace weekend; three days of peace-elevating events organized by the Baltimore Peace Movement. Two of the founders of this community-based, non-profit organization (which last November changed its name from Baltimore Ceasefire 365) join us to reflect on the weekend events and their group's new mission focus. Erricka Bridgeford and Letrice Gant are also Executive Director and Deputy Director, respectively, of the Baltimore Community Mediation Center. That's a non-profit volunteer organization that since 1995 has been providing free conflict resolution services to communities across the city. Erricka Bridgeford and Letrice Gant join us on Zoom.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This past weekend, Baltimore Ceasefire 365 coordinated a number of events to call attention to the pain and trauma caused by the excessive levels of violence in our city. Ceasefire Weekends are held four times a year, and after each one, we pause here on Midday to reflect on how all of us can act to reduce violence and heal those who are broken by it. Joining Tom today are Erricka Bridgeford.  She's a co-organizer of Baltimore Ceasefire 365 and the Executive Director of the Baltimore Community Mediation Center, which she co-founded in 1995 with Tom's other two guests: Letrice Gant is another co-organizer of Baltimore Ceasefire and the Mediation Center's Deputy Director… Michelle Herringis also a co-organizer of Baltimore Ceasefire and the Mediation Center's Neighborhood Peace Coordinator… They all join us on Zoom from Baltimore.

For most of her adult life, Erricka Bridgeford has worked to bring peace to the streets of Baltimore. From advocating to repeal Maryland’s death penalty in 2009 to founding the Baltimore Ceasefire initiative in 2017, Bridgeford’s focus is on fighting violence with compassion, understanding, and inclusiveness. In 2017, she was named Marylander of the Year by the Baltimore Sun.

More than 400 people in Baltimore City have died of illness related to Coronavirus. More than 200 others have been victims of homicide. Ninety percent of those homicides are committed with guns. While there have been slightly fewer non-fatal shootings this year than last, nearly 400 people have been shot so far this year. Today, we’re going to talk with five people who’ve made it their life’s work to help the people at the epicenter of the epidemic of gun violence. Later this hour we’ll meet two violence interrupters with the city's Safe Streets program, and we’ll touch base with a co-founder of Baltimore Ceasefire 365. But first, Tom welcomes two representatives of Roca Baltimore, which launched in July of 2018 to engage with the young men most likely to be caught up in gun violence as both perpetrators and victims. Joining Tom by Zoom are Kurt Palermo, the director of Roca Baltimore, and James “JT” Timpson, Roca's director of Community Partnerships and Safety. People seeking more information about Roca Baltimore or ways they can lend a hand, are encouraged to email: Baltimore@rocainc.com. Just as Roca Baltimore has been intervening with relentless outreach over the past 18 months, the City-run Safe Streets Baltimore program has spent the past 13 years mediating conflicts and connecting at-risk people to resources that can help them avoid violence in the future. Joining Tom next by Zoom is Dante Barksdale, Safe Streets’ Outreach Coordinator and the author, with Grace Kearney, of a memoir, Growing Up Barksdale: A True Baltimore Story; also joining Tom in this segment is Gardnel Carter, Safe Street's Community Liaison Officer. Then, Tom welcomes another of the city's front-line champions of violence reduction. Letrice Gant is one of the co-founders and co-leaders, with Erricka Bridgeford, of Baltimore Ceasefire 365, a grass-roots end-violence movement that uses the moral strength of the community to dissuade potential perpetrators of gun violence, and to heal their victims. The Baltimore Ceasefire movement marked its third anniversary during the August 7-9 Ceasefire Weekend just past. For more information about Baltimore Ceasefire 365 and getting involved in its year-round events, visit their homepage at baltimoreceasefire.org.

The restraint of protestors around Baltimore this week has been striking. The city has seen little of the violence, smashed windows or blazing buildings that have been seen in many cities demonstrating against biased policing. It’s been a relief to officials and businesses in Baltimore--but what does it mean for those in the streets? We’ll ask journalist Brandon Soderberg and Erricka Bridgeford, co-founder of Baltimore Ceasefire 365, who says making change is not all about protests. The other work to be done happens long after the marching and chanting.

Baltimore Ceasefire 365 is a community-based movement that soon will be marking the third anniversary of its campaign to reduce violence in Baltimore. Throughout the year, and annually on four designated weekends -- including this past Mother’s Day weekend -- the group holds activities across the city designed, it says, to “promote peacefulness and celebrate life,” as it asks people in Baltimore, in essence, to stop killing for 72 hours. Tom is joined now by Erricka Bridgeford, one of the co-founders and leaders of Baltimore Ceasefire 365. She describes how the movement has carried on through the difficult days of the COVID-19 pandemic. If you're interested in learning more about the Baltimore Ceasefire movement, visit its website.

The expensive aerial surveillance program won't help heavily disinvested Baltimore, say Ceasefire co-founder Erricka Bridgeford and author Brandon Soderberg.

Tom is joined in the studio by Erricka Bridgeford, co-organizer of Baltimore Ceasefire 365. Since August 2017, the grass-roots group has organized hundreds of events to bring people together to reduce lethal violence in Baltimore. It is calling for another Ceasefire this coming weekend, from Friday, February 7 through Sunday, February 9, during which it encourages community actions aimed at “promoting peacefulness and celebrating life.” A big part of Bridgeford's work is standing in witness and comforting both victims and perpetrators of violence, as well as their families and friends. Every week here on Midday we also make it a point to remember those who were killed, and their families and friends in their hour of grief. We get their names from Ellen Worthing, who compiles a list of Baltimore homicide victims. We also consult the Baltimore Sun’s list of homicides, and victim identifications posted on the Baltimore Police Department’s Facebook page. So far this year, 28 people in Baltimore have lost their lives to violence. Four people were killed last week. They are: Malik Samuels, age 42. Everette Williams, age 34. Jerrod Crim, age 32, and Richard Walker, age 58. This conversation was livestreamed on WYPR's Facebook page. You can watch the video here.

Erricka Bridgeford is a co-creator of Baltimore Ceasefire 365, an organization that seeks to end homicides in the city. The group organizes quarterly ceasefire weekends, asking Baltimoreans to handle conflict nonviolently while celebrating life and sharing resources. They also practice healing rituals at the sites of homicides and offer support to the surviving friends and families of homicide victims. Bridgeford spoke to Future City producer Mark Gunnery for a special podcast extra to accompany this month’s episode "Baltimore’s Different”: Gangs, Youth, And Violence Interruption.

When Baltimore Police Commissioner Designate Darryl DeSousa appeared on Midday last Wednesday, he was quick to credit the efforts of Erricka Bridgeford, one of the founders of Baltimore Ceasefire 365, for the city’s 12 day streak with zero murders. It was in the days during and after the third Ceasefire weekend that began on February 2nd, that Baltimore experienced no homicides for nearly two weeks, the first time that has happened in our city since 2015. Since then, three men have been killed: Sadik Griffin, John Townes, Jr., and Sean Sewell. Erricka Bridgeford cares about the disheartening data, but she also cares about the individuals who’ve lost their lives, and the devastating effects their deaths have on their families, their neighborhoods, and their communities. She joins us today in Studio A. The efforts of Baltimore Cease Fire 365 to stem the tide of violence in Baltimore are on-going and next Ceasefire weekend is scheduled for Mother’s Day weekend, in May.

Erricka Bridgeford, one of the organizers of Baltimore Ceasefire and The Baltimore Sun's Marylander of The Year, talks about visiting the sites where homicide victims fall, and what Baltimoreans can do about the violence in their city.
