๐๐ก๐ฐEleven leaders from AIM and the Maryland Just Power Alliance testified against a proposed Washington Gas rate increase at the Public Service Commission hearing this week.

โ๏ธ Yesterday, ten of our leaders met with state legislators and attended a hearing in support of the Data Privacy Act.
This bill would close loopholes to protect personal data in state databases like driverโs license records from being shared with ICE.
๐Great work, team!
๐ We are excited to celebrate the passage of emergency legislation this week (SB245) ending 287(g) agreements, which sent local police to do the work of ICE.

This law strengthens protections for immigrants by ensuring that the county does not collaborate with ICE or deny services to immigrants.
๐๏ธ We support the Starter & Silver Homes Act (SB36) to provide smaller, starter homes for young families, seniors, teachers, and healthcare workers to be able to stay in our communities.

๐๏ธ We need more smaller, starter homes so that young families, seniors, teachers, and healthcare workers aren't priced out of our communities.
That's why we're showing up in Annapolis today to support the Starter & Silver Homes Act (SB36), introduced by @MDHousing.
Thanks to @MyBGE, customers are paying more than $2 in delivery charges for every $1 they spend on gas to heat their homes.
