Maryland could be among the most progressive states in the USA, and
we're committing ourselves to make it so. We have big plans to expand
our scope and effectiveness during the rest of '09 and building into the
2010 election season. This will be a fun and empowering event!

Directions to Shorefield Area: From I-495 take Exit 31 for Georgia
Avenue/MD 97 North. Follow Georgia Avenue for almost 3 miles, then turn
right onto Shorefield Road. Continue on Shorefield Road until you reach
the parking area. Shelter G is very close to the parking area.
