NAACP To Host Baltimore Town Hall On Police Reform
BALTIMORE (WJZ) — The NAACP will be co-hosting a town hall in Baltimore as a partner organization of the Civil Rights Coalition for Police Reform.
The town hall will include panelists from the NAACP as well as advocates of local police reform. Panelists will talk about the state of policing in the city including consent decrees, accountability for the death of Freddie Gray, and the upcoming state legislative session.
