Hi Friend, 

 

Welcome to Advance Maryland! We wanted to make sure you saw our news –
after two years of leading work at Strong Future Maryland, we have
expanded our scope of work and moved to a new organization.

 

We’re so excited for the road ahead, and as ever, we are so grateful
that you’re on it with us. Although Strong Future Maryland closed down
in October, our team is committed to building on the work we started at
SFM – supporting our partners, lifting community voices, and advocating
for progressive policy.

 

Thanks for sticking with us through these changes! See you with more
updates from the 2023 legislative session soon.

 

- Alice and Maya

We have some big news to share…Our Maryland is now [ [link removed] ]Advance Maryland!

[ [link removed] ]LEARN MORE

Our Maryland has served as a digital communications hub for the
progressive movement in Maryland since 2017. In that time, we’ve advocated
for access to reproductive healthcare, paid sick leave, progressive tax
reforms, a $15 minimum wage, transparency in government, and much more.
Five years ago, Maryland’s political landscape looked much different than
it does today. Now that we’re entering a new phase in Maryland politics
with new leadership at all levels of state and local government, it’s time
to meet the moment with a fresh approach to progressive advocacy. 

 

We have hired two full-time staff members: Executive Director Alice
Wilkerson and Digital Director Maya Holliday, both formerly of Strong
Future Maryland. They bring a combined 20+ years of experience in policy
and advocacy, and we’re so excited to be joining forces with them to build
a stronger progressive movement in Maryland!

 

We’re hitting the ground running in preparation for the 2023 legislative
session, which starts in just a few days on January 11th. We are excited
for the year ahead, and ready to provide crucial digital and
communications support to efforts to expand and ensure access to abortion
care, protect the rights of trans Marylanders, continue to reform
Maryland’s youth justice system, implement paid family leave, ensure
Maryland is on track to meet its climate and energy goals, and much more.

 

Our mission of amplifying the voices, ideas, and messages of organizations
and coalitions that are working for progress, opportunity, and equity in
our state is at the center of everything we do. As we get started on our
new journey as Advance Maryland, your support is more important than
ever. 

 

If you’re able, please consider contributing to our new Partner Support
Fund, which helps us provide more strategic, digital, and communications
support to our partner organizations during the legislative session.
