BUILD Secures Commitments from Baltimore Mayoral Candidates
Sunday, March 13, 2016
Baltimoreans United in Leadership Development, or BUILD, asked the leading mayoral candidates to commit to creating more jobs and expanding after-school programs for children before about 700 people at Coppin State University. At BUILD's urging, the candidates agreed to create the jobs over four years and to spend an additional $8 million annually on afterschool programs by their final year in office.
"We look forward to holding them accountable," said Rob English, the lead organizer of BUILD.
