The Recovering America’s Wildlife Act is a step closer to becoming law after it passed the U.S. House

Students want to see this pass to protect our nations wildlife for future generations.

That's why we helped build support and lobby on behalf! Thank you to all who voted Yes!

Strange how toxic chemicals are bad? Really proud of the work students with @MaryPIRG Public Health Campaign did to start banning toxic #PFAS in MD earlier this year to protect all of our health! https://t.co/NgPdZRoabY

Good morning to these Catonsville fifth graders. Thank you for making the case for getting rid of single use plastic! https://t.co/28qrbnDXEo

Addressing #PFAS contamination in Maryland will likely require new regulations and laws, but this year’s demonstration of legislators’ bipartisan determination to address this growing crisis should serve as a powerful starting point for action. https://t.co/PbAkfh8lWx

With the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, more than 10 million people who previously struggled to pay for #broadband, are now connected through the Affordable Connectivity Program.

Landmark Maryland Climate Solutions bill becomes law after Gov Hogan avoids veto override by letting it become law, without his signature. Great victory in addressing climate change.
