This Thursday, anti corruption activists from across the Baltimore region are celebrating that we were able to get Question H-For the Fair Election Fund, on November's Ballot!

Join us for our campaign kick-off, from 7p-9p, at Next Phaze Cafe.

There will be food, fun and information about Question H. Plus speeches by local activists and Kristerfer Burnett, the lead sponsor of the bill that got this on to the ballot.You'll also be able to meet other Represent Maryland volunteers and sign up as a Represent Maryland member.

We hope to see you there! Click here to RSVP
