    Working to end sexual violence in Maryland P.O. Box 8782 For more information contact: Silver Spring, MD 20907 Lisae C. Jordan, Esquire Phone: 301-565-2277 Fax: 301-565-3619 www.mcasa.org 2016 Legislative Priorities – Final Report The Maryland Coalition Against Sexual Assault (MCASA) is a non-profit membership organization that includes all of the State’s seventeen rape crisis centers, law enforcement, mental health and health care providers, attorneys, educators, survivors of sexual violence and other concerned individuals. MCASA includes the Sexual Assault Legal Institute (SALI), a statewide legal services provider for survivors of sexual assault. MCASA represents the unified voice and combined energy of all of its members working to eliminate sexual violence in the State of Maryland. One of MCASA’s most important responsibilities is to advocate for effective state public policies in Annapolis. MCASA supports legislation that promotes justice for survivors of sexual violence, accountability for offenders, and protection for the general public. We work closely with the member rape crisis centers and invite all survivors and others interested in ending sexual violence to join our efforts. For more information on how to work together, please visit www.mcasa.org. This session brought some successes and some disappointments. One of MCASA’s top priorities, Erin’s Law, passed and will require age-appropriate education on the awareness and prevention of sexual abuse and assault. The bill will require that the material be taught by a teacher who is trained on how to present the material and that the program be part of students’ health curricula.

    March 4, 2021 The Honorable Lawrence J. Hogan, Governor of Maryland The Honorable Mary Ellen Barbera, Chief Judge, Maryland Court of Appeals The Honorable Dennis R. Schrader, Acting Secretary of Health Subject: Legal Workers are Essential to the Rule of Law Dear Governor Hogan, Chief Judge Barbera, and Acting Secretary Schrader: This is a trying time for so many, and our state and country have been tested like never before. Nevertheless, Maryland continues to rise to the difficulties of the COVID-19 pandemic, thanks in no small measure to your leadership. Thank you for your continued efforts on behalf of all Maryland citizens. We realize that the vaccine rollout is a major challenge after so much tragedy, and the many substantial obstacles caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We appreciate that the state is dependent upon the federal government to supply sufficient vaccine doses, and we also understand the tremendous logistical challenges involved in this effort. We support you as you continue with the herculean task of vaccinating all Marylanders against this deadly virus. While the legal community has not been on the healthcare frontlines, Maryland’s guidelines should affirm our reliance on the Rule of Law. The courts and our legal system must continue to function, and members of the bar are essential to this. The U. S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommended guidelines are quite clear that those working in law are Essential Workers and fall into the COVID-19 vaccine priority 1C category. Many other states have already made clear that they are following this recommended guidance.

  • Iam Pleased to Serve As President of Women Legislators of Maryland
    Untitled-1 1 12/21/2018 1:23:26 PM Untitled-1 2 12/21/2018 1:23:28 PM A Message President of Women Legislators of Maryland Foundation, Incorporated I am pleased to serve as President of Women Legislators of Maryland Foundation, Incorporated. WLMF was established in 2006 through the efforts of The Honorable Eileen Rehrmann, a former delegate and the first woman to serve as County Executive of Harford County. WLMF’s first President was the late Delegate Pauline Menes, a founder of Women Legislators of Maryland (Women’s Caucus). WLMF was organized to assist the Women’s Caucus in achieving its funding potential in support of its agenda. The Women’s Caucus’ agenda addresses equal rights for women and children, primarily in connection with education, employment, economic development, and social opportunities. Throughout the history and advancement of our great nation, women have been an untapped and underutilized resource. However, today we celebrate! We are ecstatic to report that 2018 has truly been the year of the woman. I am delighted to share that record numbers of women ran successfully for office nationwide during the 2018 mid-term elections. The number of women in the Maryland General Assembly reached an all-time high of 72 members. In addition, WLMF is proud to report and salute the historical appointment of Victoria “Vicki” L. Gruber to the position of Executive Director of the Maryland Department of Legislative Services, on January 1, 2018. WLMF and the Women’s Caucus recognize and appreciate the leadership of Thomas V. “Mike” Miller Jr., President, Maryland Senate, and Michael E.
