📣 Join us for a rally to STOP the BGE rate hike – outside of BGE HQ on Tues, Aug 11 at 10. We’ll be telling our utility regulators at the Public Service Commission to reject BGE’s 💰 grab just before their first hearing on the rate increase. We’ll have ☕️,🚰, and 🍩 to share! RSVP → bit.ly/bgerally
📣 Tell Your Legislators: Let the People Decide! Legislators are meeting in Annapolis for a special session August 3-5. Now is our chance to tell them to protect our voices and our votes. Tell your legislators to pass redistricting and special elections ➡️ bit.ly/marylanddecides
16 organizations are telling the Maryland Insurance Administration to reject ANOTHER healthcare exchange rate increase. And now, you can too. Attend the public hearing this Thursday (July 23) to let them know: Maryland does NOT want another rate increase! bit.ly/ACAPublicHearing for more info.

Instead of slashing crucial services to preserve the budget, Maryland could also just...tax the rich and big corporations like every other industrialized country does. 🤷♀️💰
Families need lower grocery bills, not deeper cuts to programs that help put food on the table. While costs keep rising, politicians shouldn't make it even harder for parents and seniors to afford a meal. Real leadership lowers costs instead of raising hunger.
🧵 TAKE ACTION 📣 Big health insurance companies are at it again – proposing yet another rate increase for Marylanders with marketplace plans. This is the third year in a row they've asked for more, and our state has approved the last two. Enough is enough.

🧵 Washington Gas’ multi-billion dollar gas pipeline replacement program drives up our bills, doesn’t prioritize safety, and locks us into polluting fossil fuels.
“To protest against injustice is the foundation of all our American democracy.” –Thurgood Marshall Today we commemorate the first Black Supreme Court Justice (and Baltimore native!) Thurgood Marshall’s birthday and legacy. He didn’t wait for justice. He demanded it. It’s our mission to do the same.
Gas pipeline spending in Maryland is out of control, and it’s driving up our utility bills. Multi-billion dollar programs are locking us into polluting fossil fuel infrastructure for decades to come.
Our message is non-partisan: PRIORITIZE MARYLANDERS OVER DATA CENTERS!!

BGE’s multi-billion dollar gas pipeline replacement program drives up our bills, doesn’t prioritize safety, and locks us into polluting fossil fuels. Last year, our lawmakers passed a bill to put an end to excessive gas pipeline replacement spending. But... (1/2)
Last year, our lawmakers passed a bill to require gas utilities like BGE and Washington Gas to prioritize SAFETY – not PROFITS – in their gas pipeline replacement. This would lower our bills and keep us safe. But gas utilities aren’t following the law. (1/2)

They want you exhausted. They want you to be convinced that nothing can change. They want you to stop paying attention. But every major step toward progress started because ordinary people believed things could be better.
Every election is a choice about what kind of future we want. Imagine a future where working families come first. OR, one where billionaires keep getting the biggest seat at the table, profiting while the rest of us struggle. Early voting is still open. Election Day June 23rd: vote.md.gov/vote2026
