Shore Progress

Starting this Thursday, join us for a hybrid phonathon event to connect with residents shorewide, help build our communities up, and spread the word about our Summer Social this July.

In-person will be at a location in Salisbury and will include a potluck!

On Juneteenth, we celebrate resilience, freedom, and the enduring spirit of America’s Black Communities.

Today, we also pay tribute to the Black leaders who dedicate themselves every day to building safer, stronger, and more just communities.

📢 Protect each other. Spread the word. Stay alert.

Our Eastern Shore is built on family, faith, and hard work - values we all share. Let’s take care of each other. Let’s protect our students. Let’s keep watch.

This is not just an immigration issue, this is a community safety issue - especially for our students and their families.

No child should walk into a school building in fear. No parent should have to wonder if picking up their child will put them in danger.

🚨 COMMUNITY ALERT: REPORTS OF ICE ACTIVITY NEAR SCHOOLS 🚨

Today, we’ve received multiple reports from school staff, students, and local residents that unmarked ICE vehicles are surveilling Wicomico County schools and circling nearby neighborhoods.

We’ll break down what’s happening in Congress and in Annapolis - and more importantly, how it affects you, your family, and your neighbors. Because what happens in those halls of power is hitting our Shore communities every single day.

Don’t wait. Don’t sit this out - Be there.

Join us tonight with US Senator Chris Van Hollen and State Leaders at the Eastern Shore Legislative Summit. bit.ly/ShoreLegisla...

At 5:30 PM, we’ll hear directly from our representatives on the front lines of the battle for healthcare, environment, and democracy itself.

Trump’s funding cuts to the Shore keep making headlines 🚫

We’re not here for cuts and challenges that hurt our communities. The Eastern Shore deserves better, and together, we’re going to stand up and fight back.

Come join us this Wednesday for our Maryland Legislative Wrap-Up! Learning the issues is key to engaging our communities - and it’s the first step in how we win in 2026.
RSVP: bit.ly/ShoreLegisla...

Together, we can continue to build a future where the voices of the Shore are heard loud and clear. Let’s keep this movement growing - because change starts here.

Today marks the anniversary of Roe v. Wade—a decision that once safeguarded the right to choose for millions. 💙 On the Eastern Shore, we were proud to lead efforts to pass Question 1.

@govwesmoore.bsky.social has officially enshrined abortion rights in our state constitution.

15 years after Citizens United, Super PACs still dominate our elections - with $20 billion spent in 2024 alone, drowning out every day Americans.

It is why we have been fighting since our founding to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

@govwesmoore.bsky.social is investing $2.7M in the Eastern Shore through Project Restore 2.0!

✅ Revitalizing Main Streets
