OUR MISSION
The Maryland Legislative Coalition is a coalition of grassroots activist organizations across the state of Maryland. Our mission is to promote legislation in areas such as education, environment, public safety, healthcare, and social justice that supports all Marylanders by making their lives better. With well over 30,000 members in every district across the entire state, we put the power of the people to work in shaping legislation in Maryland.
WHAT WE DO
Before each legislative session, we work with Legislators and Non-Governmental (Activist) Organizations to create a Legislative Agenda. We host an annual Legislative Summit to review and coordinate the Legislative Agenda with all of our members.
Once the legislative session starts, we coordinate actions in support of our Legislative Agenda. This involves tracking and helping to push bills through the legislative process, getting members to call legislators and voice their support for legislation, and testifying on bills.
After the legislative session, we develop score cards to grade every legislator’s support of our agenda.
