Are you ready to be part of the change in your neighborhood?
Here’s how you can join BUILD in the fight to build a better Baltimore region for all, starting with your own community.
Membership
Does your congregation, school, or neighborhood want to have the sort of power it takes to make change happen?
At BUILD, we believe in relational power—that the more we are connected to each other in our communities, the more ability we have to get things done. When you become a member of BUILD, we will work alongside you to listen to the concerns of your neighbors and identify and develop leaders who will address problems by breaking them down into issues that can be acted upon.
Engage with the Issues
BUILD acts on issues with people, not for people. That’s why we listen to communities, identify and develop leaders out of those communities, and work alongside them to achieve our interests. The concerns and priorities of communities in the Baltimore area evolve over time, and as result, BUILD acts on many different issues at different times.
Currently, BUILD is focused on four primary issue areas. Issue action teams meet regularly to study these problem areas and strategically move into action on these issues.
Housing & Vacancies
Criminal Justice Reform
Immigration
Neighborhood organizing
