Support For Red Line and Political Action Committee
In the summer of 2011 the Red Line Now Political Action Committee (PAC) was established to voice the support of residents of Baltimore City for the funding and construction of Alternative 4C. Its website states that the organization is staffed on a volunteer basis and plans to support local politicians that support the construction of the Red Line.
Red Line Now PAC is governed by a nine-member board of directors who are citizen volunteers who live and/or work along the Red Line corridor. The board members represent the Midtown, Edmondson, Canton, Fells Point, Patterson Park, and Greektown communities.

He had already guessed very accurately at our ages, and said that he was forty-eight.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)

They believe that we communicate without speech, and above speech, and that no right action of ours is quite unaffecting to our friends, at whatever distance; for the influence of action is not to be measured by miles.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
