Baltimore Crime Map
This site will tell you where the crimes are being committed around your church community.  Rev. Jellema suggests that people who are burglarizing and damaging property are wanting fast cash –most are not violent—may need a ‘fix’ but they are non violent-but misguided.  Why not invite them to church?

Jesus said, “My Father’s sun shines on the good and the bad.  His rain falls on the just and the unjust” (Matthew 5: 45).

Once these people are arrested many times their medical issues are not recognized nor attended to---- re: HIV meds / diabetic medication and diet etc.

Advocacy opportunities

Baltimore Public Justice Center

The Public Justice Center is a nonprofit legal advocacy organization founded in Maryland in 1985 that seeks to enforce and expand the rights of people who suffer injustice because of their poverty or discrimination. We advocate in the courts, legislatures, and government agencies, and through public education and coalition building. Current projects focus on tenants, workers, immigrants, prisoners, homeless children, families needing medical assistance, and creating a right to counsel in civil cases.
