Maryland’s hospitals collected approximately $60 million in 2017 and again in 2018 from patients who were eligible for free care and should not have been charged. static1.squarespace.com/stat… 1/3

So brave. If not for the police then who would rid our streets of diapers, formula, baby food and the other meager means by which poor women try and keep their families afloat?

🧵We're watching the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee's hearing on SB384, which will pause evictions while rental assistance is pending & allow rental assistance to actually work. This is a critical bill for #MDHousingJustice in the #MDGA22 session!
ALT Maryland has $400 million for rental assistance, and yet thousands of renters are still facing eviction. Pause evictions while rental assistance is pending. Pass SB384/HB674!

Yesterday we delivered a formal letter to @MayorBMScott calling on him to fund deeply affordable housing with the American Rescue Plan funds. This once-in-a-lifetime funding could have a huge impact on reducing homelessness in our city.

The problem with capitalism is that if you aren't born into wealth, your only capital is your labor. So automatically, your human body, is now a commodity that you must sell, and if you can't sell it for enough, you won't be able to care for it and will lose your capital.

Last year, the Maryland General Assembly passed the Access to Counsel in Evictions law to ensure that limited-income tenants have representation. Now we need to get it funded. 3/4

Most landlords have representation but most tenants do not. This puts tenants at a disadvantage. 2/4
