🌙 Last week at MARTI, something simple yet powerful happened.

We sat around the same table with friends from St John Baptist Church — shared food, shared stories, and most importantly, shared time.

In a world that often feels divided, moments like these remind us that understanding begins with sitting together, listening, and being present with one another.

Ramadan gives us that opportunity—not just to fast, but to open our doors and hearts.

Thank you to our friends from St John Baptist Church for accepting our invitation and being part of this meaningful evening. We look forward to many more gatherings around the same table.

🌙✨ A Special Honor This Ramadan

We are deeply honored to receive a Certificate of Congressional Recognition for the holy month of Ramadan, recognizing the contributions of the Muslim community in Maryland.

This recognition reflects the collective efforts, service, and positive impact of our entire community. It is a reminder that through dialogue, service, and shared values, we continue to strengthen the fabric of our diverse society.

We are grateful for this meaningful acknowledgment and remain committed to building bridges, serving others, and fostering unity. Rep. April McClain Delaney
