This past weekend, OECR was proud to join MIMA - Baltimore City Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs for the 2026 Baltimore Immigration Summit, which welcomed over 300 attendees for a full day of conversation, learning, and action.

From panels on immigration law and AI surveillance to sessions on economic empowerment, youth belonging, and survivor protections, the summit brought together leaders committed to supporting Baltimore's immigrant communities.

Special shout-out to Jill Muth, Chief of the Women’s and Veterans’ Commissions, who helped plan the event and co-presented Creating Safe Legal Access for Immigrant Survivors alongside Danielle Burton, Chief of the Community Relations Commission. A special thanks to Aracely Stafford, Chief of the Wage Commission, for her contributions to ensure these important conversations were possible.
