Dear Friend,
Next Monday, March 21 is Crossover Day, one of the most important days in the Maryland General Assembly session! To have a chance of becoming state law, bills need to be voted out of whichever chamber they began in by the Crossover deadline. That means there’s less than a week left to ensure different pieces of progressive legislation continue moving forward this session — we need all hands on deck!
We’re headed to Annapolis with allies this week to urge lawmakers to pass bills that will benefit working Marylanders, and you’re invited to join us! Tomorrow morning from 9–11 AM, we’re coming together on Lawyers Mall in Annapolis with CASA, Renters United Maryland, and countless other partners and community members for an Immigrant Justice Rally for Healthcare, Housing, & Human Rights. Join us as we call on the General Assembly to act now to expand healthcare for everyone regardless of their immigration status, protect the rights of tenants who are at risk of eviction, and grant access to legal representation in immigration court.
If you’re busy tomorrow morning, there are other opportunities to make your voice heard! The Time to Care coalition is also gathering on Lawyers Mall Annapolis from 9:30–11 AM every morning this week for a Week of Action for Paid Family & Medical Leave. We’ll be greeting lawmakers and urging them to take action on legislation to establish a strong statewide family and medical leave program before the crossover deadline.
We hope you’ll join us — see you in Annapolis!
In Solidarity,
The Progressive Maryland Team
