Policy and Legislative Advocacy

We work across Maryland — and at the local, state, and federal levels — to bring people and organizations together to challenge the financial systems that let powerful corporations profit while people of every age, all across the state, are pushed into cycles of hardship.

We confront the laws, regulations, debt-collection practices, and housing systems that stack the deck against Marylanders, because we believe power should be in people’s hands, not concentrated among a wealthy few.

Together, we uncover systemic issues in our financial system and work to create policies that don’t just put bandaids on problems, but heal the system for good.

2026 Legislative Session

Maryland’s 2026 legislative session runs from January 14th to April 13th. With your help and support, we will pass policies that put hard-working families front and center.

We need your calls, emails, and stories to build a people-led effort to counter corporate power and pass legislation that makes basic needs affordable, prohibits predatory products and services, and expands consumer protection and economic justice.
