Our Maryland Politics and Policy Podcast: Recent Episodes
Tracy Leatherberry
Our Maryland believes in a more progressive Maryland. We believe that in order to affect progressive changes in public policy, we must first shift public opinion.
As the state’s largest online progressive multi-issue education and advocacy organization, Our Maryland acts as a year-round communications hub that promotes progressive ideals and policies, organizes against conservative policies, and strives to hold our elected officials accountable.
We're fighting for social justice, economic fairness, strengthening public education, health care reform, environmental protection, and much more.
Our mission is to provide a strong credible voice that holds public officials and government accountable, assists in the promotion of progressive ideas and uses state-of-the-art web based new media to creatively build grassroots support for progressive ideas.
Our Maryland is affiliated with ProgressNow, a national umbrella organization of state-level progressive communications organizations.
