Maryland Council of Elders
Town Hall on the Industrial Police Intelligence Complex (IPIC)
Harlem Park Recreation Center, 700 N, Calhoun Street, Baltimore, MD

The Maryland Council of Elders (MCOE) was founded in January 2018 after members of the grassroots community nominated several Elders at a public Town Hall Meeting to provide guidance and critical information on key issues impacting People of Afrikan Descent in the State of Maryland and Baltimore City. The MCOE has taken on that role with an understanding of the seriousness of the situation our people face. Thus, the MCOE has sponsored or co-sponsored several community Town Hall Meetings since 2018, the most recent of which were the October 12 Town Hall Meeting on Violence in the Community and several commemorations of the Kwanzaa Holiday. Now, the MCOE has taken on the issue of what they refer to as the Industrial Police Intelligence Complex (IPIC).

“The Maryland Council of Elders is increasingly alarmed by a system that is designed to harass, displace and criminalize our people and the communities we live in. We will discuss Policing in Baltimore, the School-to-Prison Pipeline and plans to criminalize, incarcerate and kill Black People, immigrants and the poor and War.”

The event will be held Saturday, January 18 from 1 to 4 PM at the Harlem Park Recreation Center, 700 N. Calhoun Street in Baltimore, Maryland.
