I am praying for everyone who was on the Key Bridge at the moment of impact and collapse. For hours now, our first responders in Baltimore and from neighboring counties have been braving extraordinary circumstances as they work to find survivors and get them out of the water and to safety. The active rescue response, with local, state and federal resources and people, is a testament to the strength of our region. Pray for them as they continue lifesaving efforts across a massive footprint on the water, underwater and on the ship itself.
Empowering women today and every day. Happy International Women’s Day from our office to all the incredible women making a difference in our communities and beyond. Let’s continue to champion equality, celebrate achievements, and strive for a more inclusive world. #InternationalWomensDay
OAG FEATURED: On Feb. 12th we're sharing an inspiring story from Musa L. Eubanks, Deputy Counsel here at OAG. His grandfather, Major General Frederic Ellis Davison, was a decorated military officer who played a pivotal role in Black history and our country's armed forces leadership. Don't miss this heartwarming piece. Stay tuned for the full video on our YouTube channel this Monday: @ MarylandAttorneyGeneral. https://t.co/Vx9EFpYADQ #BlackHistoryMonth
I was honored to stand at the posthumous bar admission of Edward Garrison Draper, Maryland's earliest known black attorney. The Maryland Supreme Court hosted this historic event as we all continue Mr. Draper's journey - 166 years later - towards justice and equality for all.

Today I had the opportunity to meet the young women & men of the Maryland Freestate ChalleNGe Academy, a 22-week voluntary tuition-free program designed to provide youth w/ an education, skills, discipline, & the chance to excel. My thanks to Maj. Gen. Birckhead for the invite.
This morning there is so much pain and heartbreak. My thoughts and prayers remain with the families. We all must stand with #Baltimore. This affects us all. My statement:
The Supreme Court today struck down the use of race-conscious admissions programs in higher education, a decision that jeopardizes the progress made over several decades in our pursuit of diversity and equity.
My full statement on today's decision is as follows. 1/9
"We must let victims of #hatebias or #hate crimes know that it’s safe to speak up” - Words I shared with law enforcement from Western MD at the first of our Hate Bias Incident Reporting Forums that I am hosting across MD with partners @MDCivilRights and @MCAC_Alerts
