Baltimore 'warm-up.'
Loads of you are contacting us and asking us what's going on with the Baltimore situation and our protest rally scheduled for Nov. 16, 2021 while the bishops are meeting there.
We had a first hearing where we asked the court to issue a temporary restraining order (TRO) enjoining the city of Baltimore to butt out and let us have our rally. In that hearing, the city argued that we should be denied the TRO and the case tossed out.
After hearing some back and forth, the judge ruled against the city and partially for us. She did issue a partial TRO ordering the city to not interfere with us in resuming our plans to have the rally at the MECU pavilion, immediately next door to the Baltimore Waterfront Marriott where the bishops are having their fall meeting.
We were immediately back in touch with the pavilion people and are restarting our plans with them, which are now very far behind, thanks to the city ordering them to stop.
The judge said the city can no longer do that, so they definitively lost round one, and we had a partial victory.
