The light and love Erricka Bridgeford invests into our city provides powerful posi ve transforma ons, connec ons, sacred healing and understanding during our greatest and darkest moments. She is an Inspira onal Speaker, Social Reformer, Co-Founder/Co-organizer of @bal moreceasefire (h ps://www.instagram.com/ bal moreceasefire/ h ps://bal moreceasefire.com/ ) In 2017, during the escala on of violence in Bal- more, Bridgeford became the solu on she once sought. She complained "someone needs to call a ceasefire" in response to the new murder epidemic. Then she, along with other community members, ini ated @Bal moreCeasefire calling for a city-wide, weekend-long cessa on of violence. Asking "No- body Kill Anybody" for 72 hours from Friday through Sunday. This created a year long proac ve "peace challenge" movement. This movement also includes Bridgeford's scared space rituals. When someone is murdered in Bal more, we show up to pour light into the area and seal the space with love. Since 2017, the challenge is specific, let's increase self-awareness. The aim: each ci zen to take an oath of non-violence, don't be numb, perform sacred space rituals, celebrate life and vibrate higher.
