A progressive District 41

1 min read

Here's what a progressive District 41 looks like:

🌹 Reproductive Justice as a Human Right Maryland enshrined reproductive freedom in our Constitution in 2024 with overwhelming support, but the fight doesn't end there. I will defend abortion access against every attack, expand access to reproductive healthcare in underserved West Baltimore neighborhoods, and fight for full reproductive justice—which means addressing family policing, poverty, and the conditions that allow people to parent their children in safe, healthy environments.

⚖️ Criminal Justice Reform That Actually Reforms Baltimore celebrated a historic 31% drop in homicides in 2025, but we cannot celebrate police "wins" without addressing the root causes of violence. I will push for alternatives to incarceration, fully fund community violence intervention programs, strengthen civilian oversight of police with real subpoena power and independent investigators, end cash bail, decriminalize poverty, and invest in mental health crisis response teams—not just more policing.

🌍 Climate Justice is Racial Justice The climate crisis doesn't affect us all equally—it hits Black and brown communities in Baltimore hardest. I will fight for a Green New Deal for Maryland that creates union jobs in renewable energy, prioritizes environmental justice in communities facing pollution and disinvestment, ends fossil fuel subsidies and fights energy monopolies like BGE that profit while our families suffer, and ensures climate adaptation plans center the most vulnerable.

Economic Justice & Workers' Rights Corporate monopolies and billionaires are extracting wealth from our communities. I will push for a $20 minimum wage indexed to inflation, card check legislation to make union organizing easier, public banking options that keep money in our communities, progressive taxation that makes the wealthy pay their fair share, and worker cooperatives and employee ownership models.

📚 Education as Liberation Education should be a tool of liberation, not a pipeline to prisons or low-wage work. I will fully fund the Blueprint with NO cuts, expand community schools with wraparound services, eliminate standardized testing that harms Black and brown students, invest in restorative justice over punitive discipline, and ensure every student has access to arts, music, sports, and enrichment—not just test prep.

This isn't about incremental change. This is about transformation.

The corporate donors, PACs, and special interests backing establishment candidates don't want the kind of change District 41 needs. They're comfortable with a system that works for them—not for us.
