Conservative activist Scott Presler sent out a call to action, tweeting: “Next week, I’m coming to Baltimore. I’m organizing a trash clean up in the city.
170+ volunteers heeded his call and helped pick up trash in Baltimore today. They were out from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. and picked up over 12 tons of trash.
Scott Presler: “This is not political. We saw a need in the city, and we wanted to come together. Some were wary of Presler’s motivations after tense, public feuding over Trump’s tweets about Baltimore dominated national headlines.
Thank you to the over 170+ volunteers who helped pick up trash in Baltimore.

WE:
Volunteers from several states have banded together to clean up Baltimore’s streets, following a tweet last week from President Trump asserting that Baltimore “is a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess.
Tweets from Trump also personally jabbed at Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings, saying that if he “spent more time in Baltimore, maybe he could help clean up this very dangerous and filthy place.” Cummings responded in a Saturday news conference from Baltimore encouraging people to come to the city to visit and help stimulate the sluggish tourism economy.
Scott Presler, an outspoken conservative activist, responded to the president’s remarks with a call to action, tweeting “Next week, I’m coming to Baltimore. I’m organizing a trash clean up in the city. If you’re free on a week day, after work, please comment below for more details. #WeAreBaltimore.”
The tweet drew nearly 250 volunteers to Baltimore on Monday, who energetically cleaned trash from the streets. Presler’s efforts, in addition to organizing the work crews, included providing food, water, dumpsters, and portable bathrooms for the volunteers to use while they worked. More More
