Frederick Douglass's legacy isn’t a monument. It’s a mission.
In Maryland, power still concedes nothing without a demand.

Speak. Show up. Refuse silence.
Support a free press. Defend open government.
We got this.

Oh the juxtaposition of @raskin.house.gov speaking to the people of MD-01 alongside the milk carton of an MIA Andy Harris. Rep. Raskin gave up an entire Saturday to travel outside his district to give the people an in-person town hall. The last time Andy Harris did that was in 2017. #MDPol
