On August 15th, Progressive Maryland (PM) hosted our powerful Defending Democracy: Maryland Communities in Action virtual event, marking the official launch of our electoral campaign. The energy was electric, and the turnout was incredible, as we united with advocates from across the state to ensure Maryland remains in the hands of those who will fight for working families and justice for all.
At the heart of our campaign is the critical mission of getting out the vote (GOTV) for Angela Alsobrooks in her run for the U.S. Senate. Angela’s leadership has already transformed Prince George’s County, and we need her vision, dedication, and results-driven approach at the national level. That’s why Progressive Maryland is leading the charge on this GOTV work, because we know what’s at stake.
The event featured powerful speeches that resonated deeply with everyone present. A special thank you to Patricia Fletcher from Delegate Tiffany Alston’s office, PM Leader Tonia Chestnut, and PM Leader Crystal Parker. Their words underscored why our work in this election is so critical, emphasizing the importance of our collective action to defend our values and protect our future.
The night was about action and we did just that. We made calls to voters right then and there, and that was just the beginning. Progressive Maryland is already in full swing, making thousands of calls each week and knocking on over 11,000 doors across the state with a goal of 100,000 doors for our canvassing campaign. We’re committed to reaching every corner of Maryland to ensure our voices are heard and our values are defended.
Why are we throwing down so hard for this election? Because everything we’ve fought for is on the line. From healthcare to housing justice, from workers' rights to climate action—our progress is at risk if we don’t take action now. A Republican-controlled Senate would roll back the hard-won victories we’ve achieved, and we can’t afford to let that happen.
The importance of GOTV efforts in this election cannot be overstated. Every call, every door knock, every conversation brings us one step closer to ensuring that Marylanders vote for leaders who will stand up for our communities, our rights, and our future. This is how we build power. This is how we win.
