From 12 p.m. to 1 p.m., we'll be rallying for Behavioral Health and Housing at Lawyer’s Mall.
- Paid Sick and Safe Leave for Workers and Families: MD Healthy Working Families Act

- Don’t Cut the Safety Net—Expand Anti-Poverty Programs
- Increase Access to Behavioral Health and Dental Care and Promote Harm Reduction
