Voices Maryland is a grassroots organization focused on State and County level legislation and policies that impacts ​ marginalized communities and veterans affairs. Judicial and criminal justice reform legislation is of massive importance to these communities particularly due to how impacted these communities have been historical and currently. A child was allowed to give up important constitutional rights: Juvenile Justice laws in ​ America have remained relatively archaic. A child has been allowed for far too long to waive their constitutional rights without understanding what those rights mean or the consequences of waiving them. This has been an asset to helping assist in the school to prison pipeline which has continued to marginalize the multiply marginalized further. Children in custody whether they are being charged or not who are under the age of 18 must have the opportunity to understand their rights and that can only happen with the help of a qualified professional attorney. False Confessions: A study of exonerations found that 42% of exonerated juveniles had falsely ​ ​ ​ confessed to crimes they did not commit in comparison to 13% of adults. Below are some reasons Children falsely confess. a. Children’s brain development, specifically the area related to reasoning, continues to mature well into early adulthood.

  • 2020 Maryland PIRG Legislative Scorecard (1).Pdf
    _____________________--------------------------------------------------------_____________________--------------------------------------------------------_____________--------------------------------------------- 2020 LEGISLATIVE SCORECARD _____________________--------------------------------------------------------_____________________--------------------------------------------------------_____________----------------------------------------------- I ​2020 in revie​w Dear supporter, In March, as COVID-19 surged in Maryland and across the country, the Maryland General Assembly wrapped up the 2020 legislative session weeks earlier than expected. While the public health crisis meant some of our legislative priorities didn’t make it through this year, we were able to move the ball forward on several public interest issues. In this past year, Maryland PIRG worked successfully with the Maryland General Assembly to pass bills that will protect consumers and safeguard public health. Some of these bills are now law, and others were vetoed by Gov. Larry Hogan. My team and I have put this scorecard together so you can know how your legislators voted on some of the issues we weighed in on. One of the victories I am particularly proud of is the passage of the Family and Firefighter Protection Act, a law that will ban the use of toxic flame retardant chemicals in children's products, furniture, and mattresses. This Maryland PIRG backed bill took years to win, and was supported by public health advocates and the Professional Firefighters of Maryland.
