As June comes to a close and we prepare to celebrate our nation's 250th anniversary this week, we're reminded that the story of America has always been shaped by people who organized, spoke out, and fought to expand freedom, justice, and democracy. That work didn't end with our country's founding, and it certainly isn't over today.
While we're living through a period of backlash against many hard-won rights, last week's primary elections also reminded us that people-powered movements continue to make history. Here in Maryland, we helped elect and defend progressive champions up and down the ballot—winning key State Senate seats, protecting progressive majorities in Montgomery, Prince George's, and Baltimore, and sending more community leaders into office. Ballots are still being counted in several races, but one thing is already clear: when we organize together, we win.
As we head into July, we're excited to build on that momentum through our issue campaigns, local organizing, and community events across the state. We hope you'll stay plugged in and continue building this movement with us.
Read on for important updates, upcoming events and state and national news you can use.
In solidarity,
The Progressive Maryland TeamÂ
