Dear Friend,
I’m deeply honored to have been chosen as the keynote speaker for this year’s Progressive Maryland Annual Gala. At this critical moment in our democracy, gatherings like this are more important than ever. We’re facing challenges that demand our commitment to justice, equity, and the progressive values that define our movement.
On September 26th, I’ll have the privilege of speaking with you all about the pressing issues we face as we continue our fight for the soul of this nation.
My journey as an activist, former Ohio State Senator, and leader in the progressive movement has been driven by a passion for social justice and a deep belief in the power of people united in purpose. It’s that same passion and belief that I see in the work of Progressive Maryland—fighting for a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
I’m incredibly proud of the work you’re doing to champion these values in your communities. Don’t lose that drive. Continue to fight for what you believe in, because the future of our democracy depends on it. This Gala is a moment for us to recharge, reconnect, and recommit to the cause.
I have so much to share with you, and I can’t wait to see you there. Let’s come together to celebrate our progress, reflect on the challenges ahead, and build the momentum we need to create lasting change.
