Moving Maryland Forward Network
MMFN is a new initiative to connect organizations focused on social advocacy in Maryland. By harnessing the power of online organizing tools, we will build a unique network of progressive campaigns working to ensure fairness, equality and justice for all Marylanders. But it all starts with YOU! Will you help us Move Maryland Forward?
The initial members of the Moving Maryland Forward Network are:
-The American Civil Liberties Union of Maryland (ACLU of MD) - focusing on Marriage Fairness in partnership with the Marylanders for Marriage Equality Coalition
-The Maryland Consumer Rights Coalition (MCRC) - advocating for increased fairness for consumers around a myriad of issues. Their campaign is focusing on preventing abusive lending & foreclosure practices
-The Maryland Budget and Tax Policy Institute (MBTPI) - advancing practical and progressive solutions to the state budget cuts, and representing the Save Our State Campaign (SOS) which seeks to employ reasonable revenue options that would reduce reliance on spending cuts and preserve public investments in education, health, public safety, and other essentials
-The Just Kids Partnership - campaigning towards preventing youths from being treated as and incarcerated with adults in the criminal justice system
This is only the beginning. We are a new coalition and more organizations will join over time as we work collectively for progressive causes in our state. Please check back for updates on our website as we progress.
We need your help to spread the word today, so please take any of the following actions that you can;
