BALTIMORE �The Elijah Cummings Healing City Act is one step closer to becoming a law as the Baltimore City Council voted unanimously for the bill, on second reader.
According to Baltimore Councilman Zeke Cohen, who is the bill’s sponsor, if trauma goes unaddressed the likelihood that a young person will become a perpetrator or victim of violence increases.
That’s why he said this legislation is so important.
“Trauma is not something to be ashamed of,” Frederick Douglass High School senior Damani Thomas said.
