How We Set Priorities

We start with everyday life in Maryland, co-create solutions with the people most affected, and measure success by real outcomes.

  • Begin with real life. We focus on problems that hit Marylanders’ wallets, health, homes, schools, and neighborhoods.

  • Build grassroots solutions. We co-create practical, implementable plans with communities—not top-down fixes—and map the steps to win them.

  • Center lived experience. People directly impacted shape the agenda; practitioners and organizers help make solutions workable.

  • Tell the whole truth. We don’t limit ourselves to what the two parties say is “possible.” We fight for what people actually need.

  • Build with movements. Policy and organizing move together—so our proposals are built to be won in the streets and in Annapolis.

  • Measure what matters. Success isn’t better sound bites; it’s better outcomes you can feel in your daily life.

Bottom line: Our approach to issues is simple—co-create smart policy, organize to pass it, and make life in Maryland fairer, safer, greener, and more secure.

Political Priorities

We begin with a short list of priorities and build them into grassroots policy—practical plans rooted in lived experience. We revise and refine with Marylanders doing the work. As this grassroots platform develops, we hope this page becomes a resource for people who want to understand the roots of our challenges and implement solutions the two parties ignore.

As we develop more comprehensive policy details we will include them here.
