  • 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.

  • Advocate for Redistricting Reform
    Advocate for Redistricting Reform Baltimore City LWV and Baltimore County LWV are teaming up to advocate for redistricting reform, one of the State League’s top priorities. If you received this email, it is because your State Senator is a member of the Senate Education, Health and Environmental Affairs Committee OR your State Delegate is a member of the House Rules and Executive Nominations Committee. We are asking you to reach out to your senator or delegate about two bills. The Senate EHEA committee has already held a hearing (2/28) on SB 90 Elections - Legislative and Congressional Redistricting and Apportionment - Commission and Process and SB 110 -Congressional Districts - Standards. We are concerned about these bills not being passed out of Committee, so we are asking that you call or email your representative on the Senate EHEA committee as soon as possible to urge them to vote favorably on these bills to move them out of Committee. The House Rules and Executive Nominations Committee will be holding a hearing on March 4 on the cross-filed HB 43 Elections - Legislative and Congressional Redistricting and Apportionment - Commission and Process and HB 463 - Congressional Districts Standards (Anti-Gerrymandering of Maryland's Congressional Districts). Please call or email your representative that Committee with the same message – urge them to vote these bills out of Committee.

  • 2006 Annual Report
    We win 2006 annual report gay & lesbian victory fund and leadership institute when alabama, arkansas and indiana voters elect their first openly lgbt officials in the same year. when voters in campbell, california elect a young lgbt leader with a promising future. when maryland voters elect their first openly gay state senator and add to the lgbt voices in the state house. when lgbt leaders get the training they need to work harder for equality. hen political power brokers threatened to ignore the voters of the Wth District and overturn her his- toric election, Patricia Todd stayed strong and the Victory Fund swung into action. Having worked hard to secure a BREAKthrough victory in a state that had never elected an open- break through ly LGBT official, the Victory Fund quickly assembled a team of lawyers, donors, advisors and staff to defend her win. And when she finally won, we all did. Now when Alabama lawmakers debate the lives of gays and lesbians, they will look up from their lecterns to see a true hero of our community, and their colleague, staring back at them. The fight for that was mighty, but the power of it is strong, quiet and unyielding. Like Patricia. And 2006 brought other BREAK- through victories. Arkansas elected hon. patricia todd its first openly LGBT official when alabama state representative Kathy Webb was elected to the state legislature, and in Indiana, Henry alabama state representative Fernandez became the state’s first patricia todd refused to quit. elected LGBT official when he won a seat on the Lawrence Township School Board.

  • 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.
