44] – Matan
Zeimer, Jews United for Justice [info@jufj.org] wants you on Wed., Aug. 25 at 8
PM ET to join the final Intersession Interest Session on how to get our
priorities funded! Each year, JUFJ
staff, leaders, coalition partners and legislative allies work to pass dozens
of bills related to justice system reform, immigrant justice, housing and labor
justice, and more. Given that there is limited time and lots of political
nuance, not every bill passes. So, when one does pass, it's a huge victory in
its own right. But, if the state budget isn't equipped to fund that bill, it's
no longer a victory because it won't be effective until it receives the
necessary funding to be implemented.
Understand how the state budget works. Join the discussion on the budget
with guest speaker Benjamin Orr, the Founder, President & CEO of the Maryland Center on Economic
Policy. Register at https://jufj.org/event/md-intersession-budget/?sourceid=1020679&utm_campaign=md&utm_medium=ea&utm_source=standalone&emci=e0deb282-b6fa-eb11-b563-501ac57b8fa7&emdi=51f4aca1-1004-ec11-b563-501ac57b8fa7&ceid=3403859.
