Progressive Maryland

At Progressive Maryland, the mission is centered on pioneering a transformative movement aimed at safeguarding the planet and empowering working-class communities to take control of their government and economy. The organization is at the forefront of dismantling all forms of structural oppression within the state of Maryland. Through innovative grassroots organizing, comprehensive public education, and strategic legislative advocacy, Progressive Maryland is engineering a future where the state's government and economy are equitable and serve all working families, with a particular focus on communities of color. This vision is being built into a tangible reality where no individual has to face the anxiety of housing insecurity due to insufficient wages, and no parent has to fear for their child's safety in the face of systemic injustice.

The organization's innovative approach extends to redefining justice, envisioning a system that prioritizes repairing harm and restoring both victims and offenders. A core tenet of their technological and organizing strategy is the belief in healthcare as a fundamental human right, striving for a future where illness does not equate to financial ruin. Progressive Maryland is actively working to relegate poverty to the annals of history by ensuring every resident has the opportunity for a career that offers financial security and personal fulfillment. By championing policies that address gender-based wage gaps and discrimination, they are creating a more inclusive workforce. The organization also spearheads the transition to a renewable energy economy, not just as an environmental imperative but as a significant engine for creating high-wage jobs. By fostering a society where hatred and discrimination are socially and legally impermissible, Progressive Maryland is building a dignified and worthy life for every individual, irrespective of their background.
