Speaking Out for Our Common Home
2026 Legislative Briefing
We’ll discuss legislation that seeks:
-
To reduce litter and increase recycling of beverage containers (Bottle Bill)
-
To strengthen the environmental justice protections considered during permit process for new and existing polluters (CHERISH Act)
-
To bring real wisdom (not artificial intelligence!) to the pollution that data centers may impose on Maryland, and insist any data centers be good neighbors in our communities
- To strengthen and advance solar energy in Maryland
This event is especially for Maryland faith communities and congregations. Learn how your community can advocate for legislation that promotes clean water, clean air, and environmental justice. Participants will hear from issue experts about priority legislation, why it’s important for Maryland, and how, as people of faith, we can be advocates from a moral and religious perspective.
