This past Tuesday, we rallied in the rain to denounce US/Israel attacks on Iran. These attacks are a clear violation of domestic and international law pushing us towards a regional war that would destabilize West Asia, imperil millions of lives, and trigger a global economic crisis.

We believe in making nutritious and delicious food available to all.
Since we opened in the early pandemic, we've used a pay-what-you-can model. Folks really do want to pay what they're able and it has consistently balanced out.I think it's created a special environment where customers feel empowered and want to share the love back however they can.It's rare to see owners of a small business live in the community they serve (we used to live above the bakery and now live next door). Seeing many of our customers as neighbors in day to day life has been so meaningful.
Photo of Motzi bread storefront with text: Finding other small business that you can align yourselves with can be such a helpful resource. Involving customers, in the form of fundraisers, art projects, events, is a great way to see the impact of your actions. If you encounter struggles due to publicly speaking out, let customers know. You will likely feel a lot of love and encouragement.

Chrysoula Taylor and Douglas W Taylor. Primary and secondary facilities managers for the G. H. Fallon Federal Building. 202-285-9047 chrysoula.hicks@gsa.gov 410-209-9545 douglas.taylor@gsa.gov The G. H. Fallon building, located at 31 Hopkins Pl, wasn't built to be a detention center. The VA, a daycare, the IRS, General Services, and more all happen in its large office complex. Chrysoula and Douglas are in charge of keeping things at the Fallon building business as usual. They may think that it's normal to detain dozens of innocent peopl a week but it's not normal.
Dear ICE whistleblower, thank you for listening to your heart; in quiet moments you know what's happening isn't right. Your family sees you as a protector, our families see you as the boogeyman. Our heart is breaking for the humans detained at the Fallon building. For the conditions they endure, dirty and overcrowded. It's not normal. Use your soul and speak out against what's happening, any way you can.
REPOST to show your love and solidarity with people detained by ICE by mobilizing workers inside the building to take a stand!
Robert J Frances. Howard County Department of Inspections, Licenses, and Permits Director. 410-313-2433. bfrances@howardcountymd.gov Bob stopped the construction of a new concentration camp with the stroke of his pen. Construction was almost complete, retrofitting a private office building in Elkridge into a brand new concentration camp as of December 29th, 2025. Bob revoked their building permit early February.
Bob, thank you for saying no. What an incredible act of love for your community. Thank you for using your power to stop the machine that kidnaps our neighbors and spits them out far away. Thank you for saying not in your neighborhood. We don't want to bring hate and death here. Thank you for your courage, because of you we feel relief instead of fear.
Calvin Bell Howard County Executive. 410-313-2013 cball@howardcountymd.gov After Bob revoked their building permit, Calvin brought County and State legislation to block new ICE facilities from being built. He is working hard to make sure they can't just try again to bring a new concentration camp to our backyard.

Our collective efforts against ICE are working. We must keep pushing. While the Department of Homeland Security attempts to place concentration camps all over the country, we have the power to stop them. Just this week, public pressure resulted in a victory in Howard County. on february 2nd, emergency legislation revoked a building permit in Elkridge to convert an office park warehouse into a concentration camp.
Recently, video leaked showing conditions in Baltimore City's Fallon Federal Building, sparking an almost immediate protest effort that culminated at a massive rally and march last Friday. Over 18k letters have been sent so far as part of our campaign demanding public officials shut down this facility, prosecute the perpetrators, vocally support and work toward abolishing ICE. One of the letter campaignβs demands is the ban of 287(g) agreements. A bill prohibiting and ending 287(g) agreements with state employee and agencies just passed today, February 3rd, as emergency legislation.
This fight is far from over. The bill banning 287(g) agreements does not explicitly prevent law enforcement officers from working with ICE. And a concentration camp is planned for Hagerstown, MD. State Delegate Schindler has introduced HB630, a bill which would prohibit the use of buildings not originally designed for detention as immigration detention facilities. Tell state delegates to support this bill: bit.ly/no-concentration-camps Submit written testimony and/or present testimony virtually or in person for the hearing scheduled for Feb. 18th: mgaleg.maryland.gov Tell your public officials to shut down 31 Hopkins Pl and abolish ICE: bit.ly/stop31hopkins
Our efforts are winning, one battle at a time. The fight does not end until ICE is abolished.
Keep up the pressure against ICE!
