#NoMaskBanMD Rapid Response Call Action Call. Today (February 17, 2025) | 7 pm. On Feb. 5, several Maryland lawmakers introduced legislation that, if passed, could lead to fines or even jail time for individuals found guilty of "intentionally harassing, intimidating, or threatening another person" while wearing a mask. Regardless of carve-outs, this legislation puts mask-wearers at risk of harrasment and profiling. Join us tonight to learn how you can take action.
