Baltimore's Civil Rights Week has been more than an event. It has been a declaration, a reminder that the work of equity is not finished, and that our city refuses to wait.
This year, we go further.
Civil Rights Week 2026, hosted by Mayor Brandon M. Scott and the Baltimore City Office of Equity and Civil Rights, moves beyond commemoration. Under the theme, From Promise to Power, this year's convening is a call to action. From October 2 - 9, civic leaders, business executives, scholars, organizers, philanthropists, elected officials, and everyday Baltimoreans will gather for a week of transformative events spanning youth empowerment, public safety accountability, fair labor, disability rights, maternal health, and more.
At a time when civil rights are being challenged, dismantled, and dismissed across this country, Baltimore is choosing a different path. Through the work of the Office of Equity and Civil Rights, this city continues to affirm that equity is not optional, it is foundational. These events aim to celebrate the equitable advancement of Baltimore City while uniting community leaders, residents, scholars, policymakers, business leaders, philanthropists, and so many others.
Across the country, we are seeing growing attempts to dismiss systemic injustice, defend exclusion, and discredit diversity as a threat rather than one of our nation’s greatest strengths. Under Mayor Scott’s leadership, and championed through the Baltimore City Office of Equity and Civil Rights, Baltimore is boldly rejecting that narrative.
We hope you will join us in supporting and uplifting this critical work for a better Baltimore!
