  • Legislative Report Card
    2018 LEGISLATIVE REPORT CARD LEADERS OF A BEAUTIFUL STRUGGLE 1 Greetings, Thank you for engaging Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle’s 2018 Legislative Report Card. As Baltimore’s grassroots think tank, we pride ourselves on providing public accountability and transparency regarding both our elected officials and public policy issues. Our unapologetic Black political analysis and policy training allows us a unique opportunity to guide the Baltimore community through the complex political terrain. To establish a more racially equitable Baltimore it is essential that we have honest and straightforward conversations about the structural dynamics that have often plagued our city. The lesson from the 2015 Baltimore Uprising is that when we fail to invest directly in our communities, the entire region suffers politically and economically. LBS’ values are grounded in the fundamental idea that the Black community can self-determine it’s trajectory when given the appropriate resources and structure to do so. We should not simply wait for our elected officials to do the right thing when they are in office. We elect them, and therefore, we should be the judge that assesses whether or not they are working in our best interests. This report card, the first of its kind produced by our organization, hopes to move our city in that direction. Founded in 2010, Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle has been a consistent voice in Annapolis on a litany of public policy issues – particularly criminal justice reform. What you’ll read is this document are our analyses of what legislators have done during their 2014-2018 terms as state legislators.

  • Legislative Wrap-Up 2021
    MDRTL State Legislative Advocacy 2021 Maryland General Assembly “Legislative Wrap-Up” Maryland Right to Life (MDRTL) has been the leading voice on pro-life policy in Maryland for nearly 50 years. We mobilize public policy campaigns and lobby on behalf of those whose lives are threatened and cannot defend themselves. With the help of our supporters and volunteers throughout the state, MDRTL has successfully defended against 30 legislative threats to life, provided testimony on 60 bills and sent over 17,000 constituent letters supporting life during the 2021 state legislative session. LEGISLATIVE ACTIONS - On April 12, 2021 the 441st session of the Maryland General Assembly came to a close. The session posed particular challenges to freedom of speech and public participation because of Covid-19 virus related restrictions. In all, lawmakers introduced 2,362 bills and resolutions. Through the proven strength of the organization, MDRTL was able to effectively discourage legislative support for the reintroduction of the Physician Assisted Suicide bill or the introduction of any abortion amendments to the Constitution of the State of Maryland in 2021. MDRTL’s dedicated lobbyist provided testimony against 53 bills that posed a threat to life. Of those bills, MDRTL was successful in helping to defeat 30 problem bills. MDRTL also was successful in soliciting a sponsor for the introduction of two pro-life bills, the Abortion- Inducing Drug Risk Protocol Act and the Nondiscrimination in Health Care Coverage Act. MDRTL supported the bill process from start to finish, recruiting and coordinating panels of expert witnesses from leading organizations including the American Center for Law and Justice, Americans United for Life, the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the Discovery Institute’s Center on Human Exceptionalism and the Maryland Coalition of Medical Pregnancy Clinics.

    To: The Honorable Joan Carter Conway Chair, Senate Education, Health & Environmental Affairs Committee Miller Senate Office Building, 2 West Wing 11 Bladen Street Annapolis, MD 21401-1991 Re: SB 748 Position: OPPOSE Date: March 16, 2015 Chairman Conway: My name is Brent Miller, and I am the Northeastern States Director for the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation (CSF). As a passionate outdoorsman living in Northern Virginia, and working in Washington, DC, I am a regular non-resident license buyer in Maryland and have made many trips to the Old Line State to pursue whitetail and sika deer, geese, ducks, and rockfish. Further, I serve as a Steering Committee Member for the Maryland Sportsmen’s Marketing initiative – an effort to increase fish and wildlife associated tourism throughout the State. I am writing to express the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation’s strong opposition to SB 748 which, if passed, would authorize the commercial sale of wild venison harvested through crop damage permits. Since 1989 the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation has maintained a singleness of purpose that has guided the organization to become the most respected and trusted sportsmen's organization in the political arena. CSF's mission is to work with Congress, governors, and state legislatures to protect and advance hunting, angling, recreational shooting, and trapping. The unique and collective force of the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus (CSC), the Governors Sportsmen's Caucus (GSC) and the National Assembly of Sportsmen's Caucuses (NASC), working closely with CSF, and with the support of major hunting, recreational fishing & shooting, and trapping organizations, serves as an unprecedented network of pro-sportsmen elected officials that advance the interests of America's hunters and anglers.
