Guided by faith and care for our common home, across Maryland we raised our voices to hold the biggest polluters accountable. Our leaders testified and advocated in Annapolis to pass HB 128, a critical study of the harm climate polluters cause to all of us.

Today we joined Rev. Dell Hinton and partners from the Clean Heat Coalition to call on @govwesmoore.bsky.social to finalize strong Clean Heat Rules. We all deserve to breathe clean air at home, and it’s time to replace polluting fuel-burning furnaces w/efficient heat pumps. marylandcleanheat.org
