It was an honor and a privilege for CFUF’s Founder & CEO Joe Jones to testify in support of @govwesmoore’s ENOUGH act. CFUF’s BCAAN program is a community-driven place based anti-poverty initiative in Penn North and is one of the inspirations for Governor Moore’s legislation.

These are people of the 'squeegee collaborative' in Baltimore. Not whining like most people but working together for solutions. An investment firm exec, a former squeegee worker, a deputy mayor, and a non profit exec. A good group. That stepped up.
