2024 Highlight : B-360 + CLIA Annapolis Advocacy ⚖️
For the 4th year in a row B-360 and CLIA partnered to oppose legislation that negatively impacts our community while highlighting the power of our youth/young adults.
The 2025 legislative session has started and we hope law makers take equitable approaches with clear insights before crafting bills or changes to legislation.
We look forward to working with our elected officials to create true impact and change.
