CONA 2020 looks a bit different, but the Maryland delegation is excited to be participating!

[Maryland Y Youth & Government @MDYandG]

Although the Emancipation Proclamation was signed on January 1, 1863, it took two and a half years for enslaved Africans on Galveston Island, TX to hear of their freedom. Juneteenth is the celebration of the day in the United States where all enslaved were aware of their freedom.

Thank you, Dhruv and Matt, for your kindness and ingenuity. You are making a meaningful difference at a time when it's desperately needed. All young people have great potential. We are wise to nurture it and then follow their lead. #YMCA #changemakers #ForABetterUs @MDYandG

Just because COVID-19 is preventing us from holding the State Legislative Conference, doesn't mean we can't hold Elections!⁠
