The Collective Empowerment Group (CEG) is kicking off its fall season with a conversation you do not want to miss.

☕️ POWER BREAKFAST | AT THE TABLE
Inside the Congressional Black Caucus & the Issues That Matter to Us

Join us as Vincent Evans, Executive Director of the Congressional Black Caucus, sits down with Rev. Jason Jones, CEG President & Moderator, for an inside look at the CBC, the work happening on Capitol Hill, and the issues shaping our communities.

But we’re not stopping at conversation…

🗣️ CEG CIVIC MOMENT
YOUR VOICE. OUR AGENDA.
We’re creating space for you to identify the issues that matter most and help shape the priorities we bring directly to civic leaders.

This is more than a breakfast.
It’s more than a conversation.
It’s an opportunity to make your voice part of the agenda.

📅 Friday, September 11 | 9:00 AM
📍 First Baptist Church of Glenarden Ministry Center
3600 Brightseat Road | Landover, MD 20785

Come ready to listen, engage, speak up—and help move our communities forward.

Your voice matters. Your priorities matter. Let’s bring them to the table.

Our Power Breakfasts may be on summer hiatus, but the work of CEG continues!

Today, CEG President Rev. Jason Jones, Executive Director de Raye Sisco, Maryland Health Care for All President Vinny DeMarco, and Rev. Sandra Conner gathered for a productive lunch meeting to discuss upcoming collaborations that will help expand Marylanders' access to affordable health care.

We're excited about what's ahead and look forward to working together to create meaningful impact across our communities.

☀️ The Conference Room and Kitchen are officially closed for the summer, but CEG is already cooking up an incredible fall season!

Be sure to save the date for our next Power Breakfast:
📅 Friday, September 11
🕘 9:00 a.m.
📍 First Baptist Church of Glenarden Ministry Center

(Because of Labor Day weekend, we're gathering one week later than usual.)

If you typically join us online, make September the month you experience the Power Breakfast in person. The conversations, connections, and community are even better when you're in the room!

Until then, enjoy a safe, restful, and fun-filled summer. We can't wait to welcome you back this fall.
