Feel free to bring your own sign to display or use one that’s available, or just wave and enjoy the music and our common goal to end this madness!

 Stand with your neighbors for democracy, for justice, and for an economy that works for all of us, not just billionaires. Stand for science, the rule of law, a working government, kindness and common decency. Oppose fascism, tyranny, the lawless cruelty of ICE, the epic corruption, the reckless attacks on science, the idiotic tariffs, and call out the spineless elected officials who are bending their knees to a clown who thinks only of himself. This event will continue through May 28.

58] -- Janay Fenner [janay@progressivemaryland.org] on Thurs., May 7 from 6 to 8 PM ET is Throwdown Thursday. Help build the Progressive Wave. It’s how to reach voters, have real conversations, and make sure people show up. Call voters virtually each Thursday as this primary matters more than people realize. This primary election is one of the biggest opportunities to elect real progressive leadership. The kind of leadership that actually fights for working families, housing justice, and equity in our communities. You will be trained and given a script. This phone bank will continue through June 18.
