A Dinner to Honor Former State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby
🎶 Music. Movement. Community. Resistance.
Dress to impress and come ready to celebrate a true champion for justice.
Marilyn Mosby has been the subject of a four-year federal investigation—an unprecedented effort that included early-morning questioning of her children’s dance instructors, business associates, and even local churches. Despite this intense probe, no corruption was ever found in her office.
Instead, the focus shifted to alleged errors on personal mortgage and financial documents—mistakes thousands of Americans make without facing prosecution.
Yet, despite the challenges, Marilyn Mosby’s legacy speaks volumes:
Her Impact:
- Fought for justice by helping to free 15 innocent Black men wrongly serving life sentences.
- Held power accountable, successfully prosecuting 33 corrupt police officers.
- Took bold action after Freddie Gray’s death, initiating charges that halted a 17-day uprising.
- Pioneered reform, refusing to prosecute low-level possession charges that disproportionately targeted Black communities.
- Protected our youth, launching programs that positively impacted over 20,000 young people.
- Targeted real threats, focusing efforts on prosecuting repeat violent offenders and major drug dealers.
- Resisted political pressure, facing a smear campaign funded by right-wing interests, including a $227,000 PAC donation from individuals connected to a local FOX affiliate.
The Results:
According to Professor Lawrence T. Brown, author of The Black Butterfly, the murder rate in Baltimore began to decline in August 2022. In 2023, for the first time in years, homicides fell below 300, and overall crime was down.
A Johns Hopkins study (October 19, 2021) confirmed that her policy of not prosecuting low-level offenses did not lead to a rise in crime—only 6 of 741 individuals released were rearrested for serious offenses.
Why We Celebrate
This event is a community expression of gratitude and solidarity. Marilyn Mosby stood for justice—even when it came at great personal and professional cost:
- Endured numerous death threats while serving.
- Faced frivolous lawsuits that resulted in nearly $500,000 in legal fees, forcing her to rely on a public defender.
Let us honor her courage, uplift her legacy, and dance in the spirit of resistance, culture, and joy!

H.O.M.E.S (Home-ownership, Opportunity, and Mentorship for Economic Success) is a coalition whose purpose is to increase home-ownership for Baltimore’s working-class families by creating opportunity, jobs for the community, and affordable housing stock that will foster strong mixed-income neighborhoods and increase the city’s tax base, thereby improving living conditions for all Baltimore City residents. We believe the the best way to achieve these goals is through The Dollar House/Dollar Lot Program for the 21st Century.
The guiding philosophy behind H.O.M.E.S. is:
H: Home-ownership and revitalization for people who actually live in the community vs. gentrification and giveaways to a select few investors and absentee landlords.
O: Opportunity means jobs for the community, including ex-offenders returning to the community and participating in renovations.
M: Mentorship in the form of court ordered diversion to apprenticeship programs in the building trades, as opposed to mass incarceration at $38,000 per inmate.
E: Economic stability as the Dollar House Program would produce state and local income tax revenue at very livable wages. The Dollar House Program would also produce minority contracting opportunities.
S: Success is all of the above, which can be achieved with direct loans from the state at a 1% fixed rate, turning a $100,000 renovation investment loan into an affordable $300/per month mortgage for a typical Dollar House owner.
