ENDORSEMENT STATEMENT
The Alliance is a Federation of Clergy who Advocate for the
good of all and for those who may not have a voice to address
the fight against crime, better schools, fair housing, equal civil
rights, prison reform and re-entry programs, better jobs and
fair wages and making sure all have a seat at the table of power.
The Alliance came of age during the 1950’s and 1960’s, and
became engaged in Electoral Politics in the 1970’s. It founded
The Maryland Food Committee, It also gave birth to Baltimore
United in Leadership Development, the faith based community
Organization known as BUILD.
We are here today to endorse these Candidates whom we
believe have the ability, character, integrity, commitment and
vision to address and to resolve the issues that are destroying
us as a United Community. Although they may serve in different
offices and positions, they all have this one thing in common.
and that is to uplift the living standards of the beloved Community
of all humanity regardless of each ones Ethnicity.
As we go forward it is the hope and vision of this alliance that
the state of Maryland, through the efforts of those we endorse
today, will become the shining example and role model for other
states to follow.
Here are some of the goals of this Alliance:
· Workforce Development and Employment.
· Reform Immigration Laws.
· Prison Reform and Re-Entry Programs.
· New Affordable Housing Projects.
· Hassle-Free Funding For Faith Base Initiatives, Minority.
And Disadvantage Businesses.
· New School Construction and State of the Art Rec. Facilities.
