The city has recorded 30 murders in the first five weeks of the year. Supporters of the CeaseFire event hope to bring an end to violence.
Because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, organizers tweaked the traditional format by kicking off Saturday with a virtual “Speak Joy Over Baltimore” event. A second virtual event took place later, when participants created drawings and art to express their appreciation for the city.
