Food Bank Banned from Public Housing As Outbreak Shuts Down Baltimore
In this segment of By Any Means Necessary hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Brandon Walker, an organizer with Ujima People’s Progress Party in Baltimore, to talk about the revelation that Housing Authority representatives in Baltimore suddenly decided to refuse to allow deliveries from food bank trucks to low-income residents, why many feel this decision is motivated by a government desire to control the public relations narrative around the COVID-19 response, and why the move has led to not only harassment, intimidation, and apparent attempts to evict housing rights advocate/Douglas Homes community leader Rev. Annie Chambers, but also many public housing residents throughout Baltimore being confined to a single meal per day.
