In 2021, Maryland grantee partners joined our inaugural cohort based on their grassroots leadership and power-building records with and by low-income, frontline, and BIPOC communities. They have advanced immigrant rights, environmental justice, and the interests of Black, Latinx, and low-income Marylanders in the legislative and regulatory processes. As they launch their partnership, we are looking to their leadership to elevate Black, Latinx, immigrant, and multi-faith community voices in the fight for clean public transit and against trash incinerators and fossil fuel facilities in already disproportionately impacted neighborhoods.
