We can hardly believe it’s September already! COP has lots of cool things planned for the last 4 months of the year and would love some community input- committees, and of course the monthly community meeting, are open to everyone! Spend a little time with us this month, you won’t regret it. 🙂

🔔 Engagmenent Committee is moving from first Thursday to Wednesday for the month of September because we will be hosting Bingo that day. Hope to see some of you there!

August 31st is International Overdose Awareness Day.

An overdose can happen in seconds and can happen to anyone, even kids and pets. Having the right supplies on hand and knowing how to use them can make all of the difference between tragedy or a saved life.

Last week, Baltimore City Health Department held a Naloxone Training where we also learned important information on the history of the Opioid epidemic, specific facts about Baltimore City and our neighborhood, and how Narcan works when we administer it. The Health Department left us several overdose prevention kits to hand out to the community which include:

-2 Doses of Narcan (Naloxone), the lifesaving overdose reversals nasal spray
-A rescue breathing mouth shield
-A set of latex gloves
-A how-to guide with instructions for use of everything inside

We will have free kits available to take at our next Monthly Community meeting on September 8, but if you can’t make it or would like one before then, feel free to shoot us a message and we can arrange pickup at another event.

Citizens of Pigtown 🤝 Pigtown Main Street

Nope, we aren’t the same organization, but we do have the same love for our neighborhood! We know it’s easy to mix up two organizations with the same great Pigtown name in our titles, so we put together this handy dandy cheat sheet to help you know the difference. Swipe through to see who does what and how we both serve our community.

One thing we can both DEFINITELY align on— it’s Pigtown, NOT Washington Village. 🐷 😉

Neighborhood Safety & City Action Committee meets the 3rd Thursday of each month.

This committee works with City officials to collaborate on issues like traffic calming and pedestrian safety, lighting, crime, and quality of life priorities in the neighborhood.

Planning & Beautification Committee meets the 3rd Tuesday of each month.

This committee plans community cleanups, manages dumpster days, and seeks out other neighborhood beautification projects.

Engagement Committee meets the 1st Thursday of each month.

This committee manages communication priorities and plans events and programming for the neighborhood to help foster more connections in the community.

Interested in joining a committee? Feel free to pop into any of our committee meetings, they’re small and welcoming. Even if you just want to listen in or ask a couple of questions, we’re happy to have you!

If you can’t make meetings but still want to get involved, reach out to us via DM! We have Slack channels for every one of our committees that members can communicate on between meetings.

COP had an active Saturday in the neighborhood! All before noon, we held a community cleanup, hosted BPD, DHCD, and a liaison from the Mayor’s Office for a 311 walk, and canvassed the neighborhood to distribute information door hangers about our organization.

Want to get involved and don’t know where to start? Come join a committee meeting! Meetings are always posted at the beginning of the month on our socials.

Photo Descriptions:

2. Our cleanup team helped haul multiple truckloads of trash, dumped items, and weeds left around the neighborhood during Friends of Carroll Park Baltimore ‘s dumpster day.

3. With the help of neighbors bringing their own items to dump and the cleanup crew, we filled an entire dumpster before noon.

4. Before photo of an alley in need of cleaning behind the even side of Glyndon Avenue.

5. After picking up bulk items left behind and shoveling loose trash.

6. Major Middleton and Baltimore Police Department colleagues joined our Safety and City Action Committee on a 311 Walk targeting illegal dumping hotspots, abandoned vehicles, and other problem areas along James Street and Glyndon Avenue.

7. The 311 Walk stops to chat with a neighbor about her positive experience as a recent transplant to Pigtown neighborhood.

Friendly Reminder: COP/Facebook/Instagram/the neighborhood group chat isn’t an official City agency!

We all love to vent, but words alone won’t repair that pothole or get that illegal dumper fined. If it isn’t logged and reported, it didn’t happen, and if it didn’t happen, it’s not getting addressed! Take a few minutes to turn those community complaints and requests into 311 submissions so we can have a paper trail showcasing how much we care about improvements to our neighborhood. Higher volumes of documented 311 requests are one the fastest ways to get real resources poured into our streets, so let’s all work together to create positive change in Pigtown.

COP is currently working on a grant application to fund dog waste stations (installation and servicing) in and around the neighborhood and would love to collect some more data and feedback from people who live, work, and/or walk dogs in Pigtown. If you're not a pet owner, but frustrated with finding pet waste bags in your trash and recycling bins, we'd also love for you to take a couple of minutes to take this survey! Thanks in advance. 🙂

Citizens of Pigtown is working on a grant application for dog waste stations and servicing in and around the neighborhood. We would love to hear from neighbors about why this project matters to you to help strengthen our application.
