Stop the Beef Hotline offers young men in Baltimore an alternative to violence

After a 17-year stint in prison for attempted murder, Brandon Wilson joined the Mayor’s Office of African American Male Engagement in 2019 to help young Baltimore men find resources that could help them avoid the mistakes he made. Later that year, he joined the nonprofit group We Our Us, where he now is one of five men who answer phone calls for the nonprofit’s Stop the Beef Hotline.
