Meeting Describing New Maryland Health Equity Resource Community Programs is September 26th

Please join Maryland Health Care for All's virtual event to hear about health resources coming to communities across the state! The Community Health Resources Commission and partners will describe new Health Equity Resource Community programs. These programs were funded thanks to your advocacy for the Health Equity Resource Act! Health equity is when everyone has a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible. 

The Maryland Health Care for All! Coalition successfully advocated for the Maryland Health Equity Resource Communities Act in 2021 in an effort to increase state investment in efforts to advance health equity. The latest round of Health Equity Resource Communities have been awarded by the Community Health Resources Commission as a result of this law

The meeting will be on September 26th from 10:00 a.m.-11:30 a.m. via Zoom, and will include breakout rooms by region to learn about the programs in your community which seek to improve health outcomes and reduce disparities.

CASA Maryland is an immigration advocacy and assistance organization serving thousands of people across the state. For decades, CASA has been advocating for legislative change in the Maryland General Assembly. CASA's policy team works to ensure that immigrant voices as well as the voices of working class people are heard and amplified in Annapolis.

On top of that, CASA provides crucial direct services to members of the immigrant community in Maryland, from citizenship education and interview preparation, to tax preparation, to providing employment through partnerships. Recently, CASA worked to raise funds for the families of the victims of the Key Bridge collapse, all of whom were immigrants from Latin America. For all of these reasons, we could not think of an organization more deserving of this award.

Disability Rights Maryland Breaking Barriers Awards Gala is September 26th

 

Breaking Barriers Awards Gala Honoree Disability Rights Maryland (DRM) is honored to announce that U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth will receive the Judith Heumann Champion of Justice Award at DRM's Breaking Barriers Awards Gala on September 26, 2024.   The Judith Heumann Champion of Justice Award recognizes individuals who are dedicated to creating a more inclusive and equitable society for people with disabilities, in honor of Judy Heumann, one of the most influential disability rights activists in history. Previous recipients include Wade Henderson, Congressman Jamie Raskin, and Rebecca Cokley.   Senator Duckworth has been a steadfast advocate for disability rights. During the 115th Congress, she played a critical role in preserving the Americans with Disabilities Act, protecting the hard-won rights that leaders like Judy Heumann helped secure. Her legislative accomplishments also include expanding Medicare coverage for durable medical equipment, making public transit stations accessible, advocating for students with disabilities, ensuring fair rates for communication between incarcerated individuals and their families, addressing maternal mortality among veterans, and securing resources for State Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services.   Her work aligns with DRM's mission to advance the legal rights of people with disabilities. Recently, DRM represented a woman whose wheelchair was lost for days by an airline, highlighting systemic issues that Senator Duckworth has addressed through her efforts to increase transparency and accountability in the airline industry.   "Senator Duckworth's advocacy for disability rights and her commitment to social justice have made a profound impact on the lives of countless individuals across the country. She carries forward the values and spirit that Judy Heumann infused into the disability rights and disability justice movement," said Meghan Marsh, Executive Director of DRM.   Senator Duckworth is not able to attend the gala in-person and will accept the award via recorded remarks. Come celebrate with us!
