A bill essentially legalizing recreational use of cannabis in Maryland would be an important step toward addressing social equity and racial injustices, advocates said. “This is the year we are talking about equity,” Del. Jazz Lewis, D-Prince George’s, sponsor of the bill, said at a Wednesday House Judiciary Committee hearing Capital News Service viewed. “And now is the time that we pass this bill.”
You have questions. We have questions. Dr. Gregory Branch does an incredible job of explaining how the vaccine really works in your body and the ideology behind the significance of this American COVID vaccination process.
The House has voted. The Senate must now step up and pass the Equality Act to provide unequivocal non-discrimination protections for people on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.
BREAKING: The #EqualityAct has passed the House of Representatives with bipartisan support. We are one step closer to ensuring that every person in America is treated equally under the law.
House Dems will move forward with consideration of the #AmericanRescuePlan tomorrow, & it will include our provision to raise the minimum wage. We must ensure that American jobs provide workers with incomes that can enable them to access opportunities & attain economic security.
I’m disappointed by the ruling that an increase to the minimum wage would be subject to a point of order in the Senate. Gradually raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour would provide a major boost in income to 27 million Americans while lifting nearly a million out of poverty.
@Alex_Lily Good boi
Thank you Delegate Palakovich Carr! https://twitter.com/palakovichcarr/status/1364975230247186433
It shouldn't be controversial for a state to help its taxpaying residents during this pandemic. SB 218 provides a little relief for Marylanders (immigrants and citizens) who are left out of the #EITC and who were left out of the $1.5 B RELIEF Act. #Working4MD
Also holding down the Floor on an enabling bill to give localities the ability to adjust tax brackets and give relief to struggling families was my friend @JessicaFeldmark she is sharp, succinct & direct. Great job #working4Md #WAM
@BobbyCherryJr Thank Bob!!😊
Shout out to @BrookeELierman for her EPR packaging bill and @reginatboyce for her paint stewardship bill (not plastic, but still EPR). #working4md #mdga2021 @ncelenviro
Communities and the environment are paying the price for #plasticpollution.
Extended producer responsibility programs shift the burden of plastic waste away from the public and back to producers.
See how states are working to stop #plasticpollution this year. ⤵️
Another great choice by @POTUS! Thank you @ChrisVanHollen for supporting her. #working4md
Our new Energy Secretary @SecGranholm gets that combatting the climate crisis is also an opportunity to create millions of American jobs and is ready to lead our energy sector in making this goal a reality. Glad to vote in support of her nomination today.
