Operation Oliver “The Story You Won’t See on the 10:00 News”

The mainstream media won't tell what happen today, but the citizens will. We always hear about the negative that's going on in Baltimore, but never the positive such as "Operation Oliver".

Every week as I engage in many positive events that are going on around the City of Baltimore, I find it baffling that many are well attended, but never publicized by the mainstream media. I’ve realized that we can no longer depend on the mainstream media to highlight the good in our city, so right now it is up to the citizens. At this time I would like to highlight a great event called “Operation Oliver” where veterans and activists from across the city have adopted neighborhoods to help clean up, revitalize, and create green spaces.“Operation Oliver” has started in the East Baltimore area and every year they plan on helping another neighborhood. The event yesterday was attended by over 200 activists, and was very successful. The organizers of this event were The 6th BranchOne Green Home, The Veteran Artist Program, numerous colleges and progressive groups across Baltimore. Feel free to watch and share the Video to learn about “Operation Oliver”. The mainstream media won’t tell what happen today, but the citizens will. We always hear about the negative that’s going on in Baltimore, but never thepositive. I hope this story is told across the globe!
