Progressive Maryland

Here is something definitely worth checking out.

Progressive Maryland's new blog, launched today at the organization's offices in Silver Spring, MD, is the new center of information for the non-profit group.  It will be regularly updated with the organization's events, ways of getting involved, and fundraising efforts.  Additionally, the blog will be a clearinghouse of information for progressives across the state, and will be tackling issues ranging from marriage equality to progressive taxation and raising the minimum wage.

So far, the blog has paid special attention to public banking and income disparity in the United States.  In the near future, the site will also be educating readers on issues about which they have previously heard very little, such as establishing a State Bank of Maryland, The State of Working Maryland, and a report card that Progressive Maryland puts out every year on legislators in Annapolis.

For readers who do not already know, Progressive Maryland is a 15,000-member strong grassroots non-profit comprised of a full-time staff, interns and volunteers, and 40 affiliated non-profit, labor, and religious groups.  It maintains centers of operation at Silver Spring in the Washington, DC area, as well as in Baltimore.  The group is primarily concerned with the rights and economic well-being of working families within the state, though it does also promote progressive social agendas within its advocacy work.
