No On Question H
Baltimore voters have overwhelmingly rejected Question H, a measure that would have slashed the City Council from 14 to 8 members, threatening community representation. This victory is a testament to the power of grassroots organizing—Progressive Maryland and the Baltimore City Not For Sale (BCNFS) coalition fought tirelessly to ensure residents knew the stakes.
Through door-knocking, phone banking, community presentations, and poll work, our volunteers stood strong against deep-pocketed interests trying to weaken Baltimore’s voice. This is the first ballot measure in over 20 years to be defeated, proving that corporate money is no match for people power.

Home Rule Charter Amendment Passes
New Orleans voters overwhelmingly passed the Workers’ Bill of Rights with 80% support, marking a major win for Local 100 and labor allies! This victory enshrines the right to fair wages, healthcare, paid leave, and workplace organizing in the city’s Home Rule Charter.
Local 100 has fought for decades to secure real protections for workers, and this win sends a clear message—New Orleans stands with its working people. Now, the fight continues to ensure these rights are upheld and enforced!

Canal Expansion Prevented
A huge victory for working families in Louisiana—thanks to the relentless organizing of A Community Voice leaders Kristy Carter and Mary Evans, alongside State Rep. Candace Newell, the Florida Ave Freeway and Industrial Canal expansion remain defunded!
These projects would have displaced homeowners and prioritized corporate interests over community needs. But our grassroots coalition fought back—and won. This victory shows the power of people coming together to protect their neighborhoods from destructive development.
