Legislative Committee

The Legislative Committee of the Maryland Chapter works to pass progressive environmental legislation in Maryland. We identify annual priorities -- those bills that are especially critical to the environment -- and organize to promote them. We also monitor legislation introduced throughout the Session and organize additional lobbying efforts as appropriate. See the Legislation page for more information.

Political Committee

The Political Committee of the Maryland Chapter decides which candidates to endorse in local, state, and national elections, and supports and works on political campaigns in an effort to influence the outcome. The Committee distributes information and signage, and participates in a number of outreach activities such as door-knocking, calling and contacting members to write letters to the editor, to attend events, to register to vote, etc. See the Elections page for more information.
