Tell your legislators: End the automatic charging of kids as adults NOW!

A Maryland commission recently issued a report recommending that the state stop automatically sending kids accused of crime to the adult criminal legal system. This is the third state commission to recommend ending automatic charging of youth as adults since 2012. Marylanders have been asking the legislature to change the law for 14 years. 

We can and must treat our children better. Join us and call on your legislators to commit to taking action in 2026 to end automatic charging of kids as adults.

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.
