Seven months. That’s how long it took to get here. It didn’t happen because leadership woke up one morning ready to act. It happened because you refused to let this go.
Baltimore, this one’s yours.
Maryland’s lawmakers are heading back to Annapolis August 3rd–5th for a special session. They’re not drawing new maps yet. The senate will vote on the constitutional amendment passed by the house in January. That amendment will clear the road to draw a new map, if needed, before the 2028 election.
I know it’s not exactly what the majority had set out for, but at least the ball is moving forward.
Thanks for showing up and speaking out. You kept the pressure on when it would’ve been easier to move on.
So congratulations to every neighbor who made a call, signed a petition, or just refused to stay quiet. This is what it looks like when regular folks decide the status quo isn’t good enough.
We’re not done. But today, take the win. You earned it. Love ya, folks!
