Fact check: Question 1 is about reproductive freedom. Full stop. That’s it.

Don’t let the anti-abortion extremists deceive and divide us with their wild lies rooted in transphobia. We can't let them win. Vote FOR Question 1!

[Trans Rights Advocacy Coalition @TransRightsMD]

Tomorrow, Maryland's shield law goes into effect, protecting gender-affirming care from out-of-state attacks!

A huge thank you to everyone who made this happen, especially @GovWesMoore @ClarenceLamMD @DavidMoon2014 @DelegateBagnall @Del_Cullison @JPenaMelnyk

We're calling on @LatoyaNkongolo to apologize for her homophobic and transphobic comments made on June 22. Her hateful language is unacceptable and hinders the work of building schools where every student can belong, grow, and succeed.
