Maryland is already paying the price of the climate crisis with flooded streets, deadly heat, and toxic smoke, while fossil fuel giants count record profits. Lawmakers must override the veto of the #RENEWAct.

From todayโ€™s community lobby day, where we turned out to protect DC autonomy in federal budget passed this week! We made it clear: DC home rule stays, and that means no federal interference in our laws, budget, or democracy. As always, great to partner w/ @freedcproject.bsky.social #FreeDC

Marylandโ€™s Governor and Legislature Just Got So-So Grades on Their Environmental Scorecards - Inside Climate News Two new assessments from the Maryland League of Conservation Voters found the Moore administrationโ€™s actions have not consistently aligned with its climate pledges.

PATHETIC! Maryland has A+ potential to be a shining beacon to the nation and the world when it comes to accelerating the transition to affordable, healthy, renewable energy. Yet, our grades for this year were Cs and Ds. We must demand better from our legislators. @ccanactionfund.bsky.social
