Who We Are
& Why We're Here

We are a community of grassroots progressives in Cambridge, MD, dedicated to building connections that drive meaningful political change. United by values of inclusivity, equity, freedom, and opportunity, we believe that true transformation starts locally — within the communities we call home. By fostering strong relationships with our neighbors and elected officials, we aim to empower every voice and boost voter participation in every election. Working in solidarity with grassroots organizers, we strive to amplify progressive change here in our own community and beyond. Together, we create lasting impact — because when we all build, we all thrive.

Voter outreach and education are more than just conversations — they're about actively listening to the voices that too often go unheard. It's about meeting people where they are and honoring their experiences. Every citizen, regardless of race or background, deserves an equal say in our democracy. That means ensuring that voting is accessible, that issues are clearly understood, and that candidates are transparent about where they stand. We won't stop until everyone's voice is not just heard, but valued and acted upon.

Building community is more essential than ever. Community creates a powerful, resilient network that supports individuals, protects shared values, and amplifies collective action. When people come together, they form bonds that foster empathy, mutual understanding, and trust — qualities that are crucial in countering polarization. A united community can effectively advocate for social justice, uphold accountability, and preserve democratic principles. Through consistent dialogue, shared goals, and inclusive engagement, communities become not just a source of strength but a driving force for progress.

Empowering our community is about realizing the strength we all hold when we come together across race, place, or who we love. If you've never done anything "political" before, you're not alone — most of us hadn't either until after the 2016 election. But what matters is your willingness to get involved. Our mission is to empower others to take the lead in shaping the future of their communities. Once you recognize the power you have, nothing can hold you back. Is it easy? Absolutely not. But is it worth it? Without a doubt, yes.

Fighting structural racism requires us all to confront uncomfortable truths and recognize our role in a system that has oppressed Black, Indigenous, and People of Color for generations. Racism isn't just about individual actions — it's about a system designed to maintain the power and privilege of white people while marginalizing BIPOC communities. Being anti-racist means actively working to dismantle these structures by creating new policies, practices, and procedures that promote racial equity. It's hard work, but it's work we can and must do together.

Holding our representatives accountable is a fundamental responsibility of our democracy. As citizens, it's up to us to ensure that our leaders act in the best interests of all people, not just corporations or the privileged few. When they stand up for progressive values that put people first, we must also recognize and support their courage. Our collective power is what drives our country forward. People power is everything.

We stand for progressive issues that uplift and protect all communities. We believe housing and healthcare are basic human rights. We support racial justice, reproductive rights, LGBTQIA+ rights, criminal justice reform, and affirm that Black Lives Matter. We advocate for taxing the wealthiest 1% to strengthen our infrastructure and public schools, universal basic income, robust social safety nets, and a pathway to citizenship for all. Immigrants enrich our communities, making them stronger and more vibrant. We stand with our teachers, support unions, fight for free college, and demand gun violence prevention laws.

Running for office is a powerful way to bring about change, and we're passionate about supporting and electing progressive candidates who stand up for all our communities. If you're thinking about running, here are organizations that can help:
