  • 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-Mid-Year-Political-Contributions
    1 Verizon Political Activity January – June 2018 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies -- from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more -- that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 18 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon and its affiliates during the first half of 2018. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners. Craig L. Silliman Executive Vice President, Public Policy and General Counsel 2 Verizon Political Activity January – June 2018 Political Contributions Policy: Our Voice in the Democratic Process What are the Verizon Political Action Committees? regulations govern many aspects of the contributions process including the setting of monetary contribution limitations and The Verizon Political Action Committees (PACs) exist to help the establishment of periodic reporting requirements.

  • 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.
