For years, Marlene has been a tireless advocate, standing up for the rights of people in her community while also navigating and advocating through her own challenges with remarkable strength and determination.

Now it's our turn to stand by Marlene!

After a series of unfortunate and unfair setbacks, she is at risk of losing the home she has spent her life working to pay off. Repeated disability benefit eligibility and SNAP reviews have temporarily disrupted programs she has relied on for many years. Together, these challenges have created an overwhelming financial burden.

If you're able, please make a donation to Marlene's GoFundMe. The funds will help cover her mortgage payment, essential accessibility modifications to her home, medical expenses, and other urgent needs as she works to get back to a place of stability.

If you're not able to donate, sharing her fundraiser with your family, friends, and networks would also make a tremendous difference.

Thanks for supporting someone who has dedicated so much of her life to supporting others!!

SOS - Standing with Our Haitian Siblings
Prayers, Press, March - Salisbury, MD
Wednesday, August 26, 2026 - 1:00pm ET

Bishop William J. Barber, II, Senior Lecturer and President of Repairers of the Breach, Founding Director of the Center for Public Theology and Public Policy at Yale Divinity School invited by impacted persons, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the Capital Area, Haitian Pastors and other Local and Regional Faith and Movement Leaders to come and stand with the Haitian community calling attention to the lies, attacks and arrests of many good law-abiding people contributing to the growth and betterment of the community.

The expiration of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of Haitians on August 5, 2026, following a Supreme Court ruling and lifted legal stays, has sparked intense fear and local enforcement arrests in Salisbury, Maryland, where Haitians make up roughly 10% of the city's population. Families are being separated and entire communities are living in fear of being torn apart. Some are even afraid to gather in their churches and return to the schools with their children and important industries and businesses are starting to suffer with the loss of employees.

Governor Wes Moore signed emergency legislation (Senate Bill 245 & House Bill 444) banning local 287(g) immigration enforcement agreements with ICE on February 17, 2026. This legislation prohibits Maryland Jurisdictions from deputizing officers for federal immigration enforcement. But the Wicomico County Sheriff Mike Lewis has reached out to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) about a partnership which would make this the first law enforcement agency on the Eastern Shore to participate in the 287(g) program. County Executive Julie Giordano and County Council President John Cannon are also taking a lead and supporting the Sheriff in putting an agreement in place between ICE and the local jurisdiction…a clear violation of state law. US Congressman Andy Harris who represents the district and has an office in downtown Salisbury is also in support of the Sherriff and County leaders.

Haitian immigrants are a vital part of the economy, working heavily in regional agriculture, caregiving, and local poultry processing plants. Haitians make up roughly 10% of the city’s 33,000 residents. There are daily reports of people being stopped, intimidated, and detained. All of this being done in the name of public safety, but far from safety, these tactics instead enable fear and increase the threat of violence. Rev. Roosevelt Toussaint, Executive Director of the Haitian Development Center of Delmarva has been quoted in an AP article as saying, “this is really a scare tactic…this is really a way to make people fear, to make people, all the time fear about being deported.” It couldn’t be any clearer: we need to stop the lies, attacks, and arrests and defund the separation of families beyond the enforcement paradigm into the well-being of all our communities.

Silence is complicity….we are not going to be silent anymore!
Jeremiah 22:1-9 / Luke 4:16-20

Meet the Moment Redistricting Rally
Progressive Maryland is hosting a rally Monday, August 3, 2026 | 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM EDT, Lawyers Mall, 25 Calvert St, Annapolis, MD RSVP
This rally is held prior to the hearing.

As some states move to redraw congressional maps to gain a partisan advantage, Maryland has an opportunity to help maintain balance in Congress. Until every state uses an independent and fair redistricting process, Maryland should not unilaterally disarm while other states continue to engage in partisan map-drawing. The ultimate goal should be a national system where voters choose their representatives - not the other way around.

The Maryland Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival upholds the 10th Fundamental Principle that this is not about left/right, Democrat/Republican, but about right and wrong, as is stated in full below:

"We will do our work in a non-partisan way—no elected officials or candidates get the stage or serve on the State Coordinating Committee of the Campaign. This is not about left and right, Democrat or Republican but about right and wrong."

Today, Monday, July 27, at 6:00 PM — in front of the White House at 16th Street NW, Black Lives Matter Plaza — Repairers of the Breach launches 100 Days of Mobilization and 1,000 Marches to the Polls in Every State.

Our focus has not changed. We march, we organize, and we vote for:

Ending immoral war — because a nation's budget is a moral document, and endless war starves the work of justice at home.

Protecting and expanding voting rights — because democracy is not a spectator sport, and every silenced voter is a wound to the whole body politic.

Ensuring health care and living wages — because no one who works should live in poverty, and no one should die for lack of care.

Protecting our immigrant communities — because no family should live in fear, and every neighbor deserves dignity and welcome.

Guaranteeing equal protection under the law — for every person, without exception.

Then, on Monday, August 3, we gather for our DC send-off — the final Moral Monday in the Nation's Capital before the movement returns to the states.
