(MCVRC) staff worked tirelessly to advocate on behalf of victims of crime, including in the areas of assaults, domestic violence, homicides, identity theft and robberies. MCVRC, is one of Maryland’s non-profit leaders in the training of victims’ laws and rights to services providers, States’ Attorneys, state victim-witness coordinators and other non-profit support service organizations. 2017 was marked by many successes, including the following highlights: • Four attorneys were employed and offices were opened in Western, Eastern Shore, North Central, and North Western Maryland to provide pro bono legal services to victims of crime. • Through our training efforts, more than 271 participants received training in victims’ laws, rights, and services. • Representatives from 86 different organizations received training in victims’ laws, rights, and services. • A Montgomery County Circuit Judge used our argument in part to justify the denial of Lee Boyd Malvo’s challenges to his 2006 six consecutive life without parole sentences for first degree murder. • Advocates provided court accompaniment and language interpretation services to a victim of MS13 gang violence. This case started in Prince George’s County and was transferred to federal court. As a non-profit organization, we do not charge clients for services rendered. MCVRC rely totally on individual and corporate donations as well as federal and state funding to accomplish the goals of our mission.

  • 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.

  • 2018 Monoblogue Accountability Project
    2018 monoblogue Accountability Project A voting summary for the Maryland General Assembly ©2018 Michael Swartz. Reprint permission is granted with credit to “Michael Swartz at monoblogue” (with link) Introduction I began the monoblogue Accountability Project in 2008 as the successor to an earlier effort called the Maryland Accountability Project. It graded all 188 members of the General Assembly on whether they voted in what the author considered a conservative manner or not. Since the creator of the project moved on to other things I took up the baton, with my first year’s work incorporating three sessions: the 2007 Regular Session, the 2007 Special Session, and the 2008 Regular Session. I continued the project for the entire 2007-10 electoral term and began anew with the 2011 session. Now I finish my work with this year, the end of my third term for the mAP. With the primary coming up June 26, I thought it important to get this edition out as early as possible. Unfortunately, in looking at the races as they are shaping up, there are sadly too few good opportunities to eliminate the deadwood of the General Assembly as well as those so-called “progressive” members who are, in truth, blocking our progress in returning to the status of the “Free State.” It is for this main reason you are far more than likely looking at the last Maryland edition of the monoblogue Accountability Project – Delaware is a more appealing state, so that's where we plan on relocating. I'll still be working in Maryland but, unless I see a compelling reason to continue I think it's time I shifted focus to the other side of the Transpeninsular Line.

  • 2018 Legislative Priorities – Final Report
    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 2018 Legislative Priorities – Final Report The Maryland Coalition Against Sexual Assault (MCASA) supports legislation that promotes justice for survivors of sexual violence, accountability for offenders, and protection for the general public. The 2018 legislative session brought continued progress for survivors of sexual assault. Thank you to everyone who made calls, sent emails, testified in Annapolis, and donated to MCASA to support our public policy efforts. You make a difference for survivors. Here is MCASA’s Final Report on the 2018 session: With the support of the Legislature’s presiding officers, Speaker Mike Busch and President Mike Miller, the Rape Survivor Family Protection Act, was passed and enacted early in session. Delegate Kathleen Dumais continued to lead this effort and never gave up. Senator Brian Feldman took on leadership in the Senate after Jamie Raskin departed for Congress. Early passage of this bill helped survivors immediately and also allowed MCASA to focus time and energy on other important legislation. Our work paid off. After decades of advocacy, the Past Bad Acts bill passed and will allow jurors to hear about evidence of past acts of sexual assault when there is a consent defense or an assertion that a child fabricated an allegation. Special thanks to Scott Shellenberger, State’s Attorney for Baltimore County, who was a leader and partner in these efforts for many years. Maryland will lead the nation with a model for providing Fair Process in College Sexual Assault cases with the passage of SB607/HB913.
