Today, we celebrated the life and work of our dearly departed friend, David Mott. Maryland Poor People's Campaign, BACC, and Third Act Maryland spoke about his work with those orgs, and we had wonderful music as well. Thank you to all coordinators, attendees, and participants for making it a wonderful event.

On June 28, we held "David Mott, ¡Presenté! Forward Together: A Celebration of His Life" in Bethesda. We had many friends from the various social justice organizations tied to David's work, including Zola Shaw as our emcee ... and the Mott family joined us. And of course, we had music! #ForwardTogetherForever #FightPovertyNotThePoor BACC Third Act MD

We'd interacted with Phil Ateto on several occasions, though not nearly enough.
But on March 2, 2024, Maryland #PoorPeoplesCampaign held one of its largest actions, and no word spoken nor lyric sung would've been heard if not for Phil, who got us sound equipment, connecting us with Patrick/Re:Action, and them manning the equipment thru the conclusion. And they weathered the literal storm with us.
Thank you, Phil.
