🧵 Maryland is leading the country when it comes to our youth for all the wrong reasons. Our state has the highest number of violations of federal standards for youth kept in adult jails. 7x HIGHER than the allowable number of violations.

Only a few days left of the 2025 Maryland legislative session! The Senate must pass HB767 – to require tenants are given at least 7 days notice of their eviction. Tenants facing eviction should AT LEAST know when it's happening.

Tell the Senate to pass HB767: actionnetwork.org/letters/pass-tpra

Maryland MUST protect our immigrant community! We're running out of time in the Maryland legislative session – tell your legislators to act now to protect immigrants! --> wearecasa.org/sign4immigrants

The Maryland General Assembly is closer than ever to finally passing local enabling legislation for Good Cause Eviction (HB709/SB651), but they're considering bad amendments that would undermine other renter protections. Call the Senate JPR cmte NOW to urge a STRONG bill! slottr.com/ProtectRenters

Nobody should be evicted without a good reason, but in Maryland large corporate landlords file more than 5,000 eviction cases each year without providing a reason. We can change that – tell our legislators to pass a STRONG Good Cause Eviction bill! #MDGA25

Good Cause Eviction (SB651), sponsored by Senator Muse, is being heard in the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee right now. No cause, no eviction! You can tune in for the hearing here: www.youtube.com/live/APY8AMo...

BGE is trying to shift blame over our skyrocketing gas bills! They want you to believe that your bill has doubled, or tripled, because of some colder weather – but they’re conveniently leaving out that while we’re struggling to pay bills, their profits are at an all time high. (1/2)
