I'm proud to introduce JUST CAUSE EVICTION as a statewide, enabling bill this year, allowing any county in the state to have the authority to pass their own just cause law.

This bill will empower renters and help prevent unfair evictions at the end of a lease.

The Legislative Session has begun and we have 3 months to lobby for our policies. The Union of Concerned Scientists has an excellent factsheet on how to research policy makers before you lobby them. It can be viewed at the following link: https://t.co/Kz50W3EX8F.

ICYMI: MD Dems overrode many of Gov. Hogan’s vetoes during special session this past week - except for 1: Sen. Jill Carter’s bill to legalize possession of hypodermic needles, syringes, & other paraphernalia. Read here to see the response from advocates!”

Here's an idea: pay people a living wage. 🤷‍♂️

VALUE MY VOTE IS HEADING TO THE SENATE FLOOR!!! It’s not enough to give incarcerated individuals the right to vote. We must guarantee that right by mandating resources and opportunities for them to vote in jail.

History being made before our eyes. It would not have happened without the courage and leadership of the first African American, first woman Speaker of the Maryland House of Delegates. #HBCU #RacialJustice

Today is a new day for Maryland's historically black colleges and universities. For over a decade, we have left our higher education system in limbo while we litigated the program duplication issues surrounding Maryland’s #HBCUs.

THIS 100% We have residents whose landlords take rental assist. and still evict. Landlords do this by "non-renewing" leases and filing Tenant Holding Over eviction -- not covered by the so-called "moatorium." Is rent assist about bailing out landlords or keeping people housed?

[Matt (Move the Previous Question) Hill @cmatthewhill]

@bensmithtweet Cut the DAMN unemployment checks!
Stop the DAMN eviction tsunami coming our way!
Distribute the DAMN vaccines to our Black neighbors!

Larry Hogan can do a lot DAMN things right now. But.... that wouldn’t play as well to his white suburban/exurban base

This is an absolutely disastrous pick.

In February 2020, Redfield echoed Trump's attempts to downplay the virus, despite receiving dire warnings to the contrary. Throughout his tenure, he prioritized loyalty to Trump over public health.

The state's greenhouse gas plan is woefully inadequate. It assumes emissions reductions from road widening. Everyone knows that adding lanes on the DC beltway and 270 will just attract more cars. https://t.co/2sLbAdet4j
