I was on the board of a nonprofit that received funding from MacKenzie Scott. Her no strings attached gift was game changing. More philanthropists need to adopt this model instead of capitalist brained ideas of efficiency that are ultimately counterproductive.

Celebratory gunfire is no joke. Each year, innocent bystanders pay the price for this highly irresponsible and dangerous act.

Remember, what goes up must come down. Say NO to celebratory gunfire, and pass it on!

During the 2023-24 election cycle, 333 of our volunteers were elected to offices up and down the ballot. Of these, nearly 60 percent are headed to state legislatures, and six are headed to Congress! For the 2025-26 cycle, we plan to double down on our #DemandASeat candidate training program!

Can we just admit that we NEED immigrants for our economy to run, from agriculture to high tech?

I have always loved public libraries, but having young children has exponentially increased my gratitude and sense of indebtedness to them. Our local library is such a huge part of our lives. The books, the programming, the very intentionally curated kids’ section. It’s all such a gift.

I met Juanita soon after Jayz was shot when she joined us in Annapolis to fight for our gun safety bills. She now is a tireless activist & has launched a nonprofit foundation in Jayz’s name to create a safe, supportive space for young people at risk of gun violence in areas riddled with crime. 🧡
Her son was killed raking leaves. She wants to save other teens.

What should have been a fun day out at the playground with friends turned into a nightmare after Amanda Parezo was senselessly shot in the back and wounded. On top of the physical trauma Amanda endures, she and her friends still experience ongoing mental trauma from the shooting.
