The Public Engagement team had another busy month at the Comptroller’s Office! In July, members of the team attended Disability Pride Arts Fest, Minority Business Outreach events, Maryland Planner’s Association Regional Meeting, Maryland Washington Minority Companies Association, and more!

Maryland said we would be the first state in the nation to provide a year of service for the people of our state.
And we meant it.

John Lewis spent a lifetime fighting for democracy. He reminded us that "freedom is not a state; it is an act” — and that “each generation must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society.”
Four years after his passing, his words have never been more important.

Rep. John Lewis knew voting was sacred.
The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act is a chance for us to make clear yet again that we cannot stand by as voter suppression and the disenfranchisement of communities of color infringe upon the rights of our citizens.
It's been four years since we lost Rep. John Lewis
He was a civil rights titan
He risked his life marching at Selma
He devoted his life to working for the rights of every American
And we continue that march today as we work to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act

Governor Moore and I believe that when we serve others, we shift from a life of consumption to a life of contribution, from a life of ME to a life of WE because in the end, what will matter is not what you get, but what you give.
Congrats to the Maryland Corps Class of 2024!

Political violence is unacceptable, and we will not tolerate it – not now, not ever.
Ideas are won and lost at the ballot box.
That is the promise of our democracy, and it is an ideal we need to defend.

The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline has answered 10 million+ contacts and saved untold lives since its creation two years ago.
While there’s more to do, today marks a significant milestone in the national effort to strengthen our mental health care infrastructure.
ALT Graphic reads: "If you or someone you love is experiencing suicidal ideation, a mental health or substance abuse-related crisis, call or text 988 to receive free and confidential support from a trained crisis counselor, available 24/7. "

Democracy isn't just a static collection of institutions. It’s statehood for millions of disenfranchised people, a stop to voter suppression, and an end to partisan gerrymandering and dark money.
To defend democracy is to defend progress toward a more perfect union.

Here's a #ThrowbackThursday recap of the
@mdc4w Hall of Fame ceremony that happened in March.
The inductees are charting new paths ahead for #Maryland, as the awardees are changemaker #leaders who are starting an exciting chapter for Maryland's future.
The toll of firearm violence on young people has been particularly devastating. We owe our children a safer future.
