In a post-Roe world, Maryland has a responsibility to lead and become a beacon of freedom on the national stage. Enshrining reproductive freedom in the Maryland Constitution is the right thing to do to protect privacy over one<U+2019>s own body. https://t.co/8c32LT0ab1 #MDGA2023 #MDGA23 https://t.co/llXbrd3Hgs
I was truly honored to join @Willcsmithjr at the unveiling of Artist Ernest Shaw<U+2019>s portrait of Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. I hope all those who visit the Senate JPR Committee Room will be inspired by his legacy of fighting for racial equality. https://t.co/FvIwFJwp2p

On #InternationalWomensDay and everyday, it<U+2019>s worth recognizing the incredible women who serve in the Senate of Maryland, including our amazing President Pro Tem Melony Griffith (not pictured). #MGA22 https://t.co/RXAO4DRC82
Accountability. And yet, we still have so much work to do together to avoid having to hope for a just verdict in a future case. Most importantly, we need to do the work to implement the reforms that will stop injustice in the first place.
