Dear Friend,
Governor Moore’s final bill signing on Tuesday, May 20th, marked a major milestone: our long-fought campaign to remove waste-to-energy incineration from Maryland’s renewable energy program is now law. With that, our 2025 legislative wins are officially secured. Now that the session is behind us, we are reflecting on what we achieved, where we fell short, and what’s next in the fight for a more just and equitable Maryland.
But first, thank you. Progressive Maryland was able to enter 2025 with strength and purpose. It was difficult to succeed on every one of our issue fronts, but we won some things and had an impact because of the work of our dedicated members, leaders, and staff.
As a grassroots, member-driven organization, everything we do—from challenging corporate power, to working to advance a more progressive narrative, to advocating for bold legislation—is powered by people like you. If you share our vision, feel energized by what you know we are facing now, and by what you read below, the best way to support our efforts is to become a member.
Let’s dive in.
