Maryland Legislators: Strengthen Protections for Providers and Patients of Legally Protected Healthcare
Maryland has robust laws in place to protect the rights of patients and providers of legally protected healthcare like abortion and gender-affirming care, but there’s more we need to do to ensure anyone receiving or providing care in Maryland is protected from outside attacks.
Send a letter to your state representatives now to urge them to do all they can to strengthen legally protected healthcare this legislative session!
Pass SB323/HB409 Youth Charging Reform Act Now!
Everyone benefits when kids accused of breaking the law start in the juvenile system – and a judge decides if they should be tried as an adult. In FY25, Maryland charged more than 1,000 youth as if they were adults. We are embarrassed and ashamed that Maryland continues to send more youth, ages 14-17, to adult court – automatically, without input from a judge – than any other state except Alabama. You should be, too.
We can and must treat our children better. Join us and call on your legislators to pass the Youth Charging Reform Act, SB323/HB409 now.
Tell Legislators: Support 2026 Housing Justice Priorities Because Stable Homes Make Strong Communities
Everyone should have the opportunity to live in stable, safe, fair, and affordable homes. As the 2025 legislative session gets started, contact your legislators, General Assembly leadership, and the Governor and urge them to take action to keep Marylanders housed.
Tell Maryland legislators: Don't cut services our communities rely on while corporations get new tax breaks
Congressional Republicans and the Trump administration are gutting food assistance and health care to pay for their huge tax breaks for millionaires, billionaires and corporations. At the same time, they are harming Maryland families, communities and businesses by targeting immigrants, firing thousands of federal workers, and cutting funding for research and clean energy projects.
Now our state leaders are left picking up the tab for these federal attacks. Maryland is facing a $1.5 billion budget deficit that threatens support for our schools, health care, and safety and will make it even harder for our state leaders to help our families and neighbors that the federal government is leaving behind.
While Washington gives tax breaks to billionaires, Maryland shouldn’t double down. Contact your legislator today to tell them to close corporate tax loopholes so that our communities have what they need.
