He never wavered, never hesitated to raise his voice against the rising tide of hatred and falsehood.
Though he was not Jewish, he lived as our brother. His courage became a shield against the storm of slander and violence unleashed after October 7. In moments when others looked away or chose silence, Charlie chose truth. In times when com...

Baltimore, Md - Sept. 10, 2025 - As the clock winds down on a final Baltimore County redistricting map, council members Mike Ertel and Izzy Patoka introduced an amendment to the map Tuesday.
