Building The World As We Want It To Be
At the heart of our work, we listen to each other in one-on-one conversations, house meetings, and listening sessions. We build relationships of trust across differences. We research the best solutions to the problems faced in our neighborhoods. We build power and act together to change our communities for the better. And we reflect and evaluate to learn from our work and plan for the future.
Statewide Action for Housing, Climate, & Education
Help us show our power to make change statewide!
2024 Statewide Campaign
In 2024, we organized to support key bills in the Maryland state legislature for housing equity, tenants’ rights, and climate justice. Together as ACT, PATH, and AIM, with our partners Interfaith Power & Light and Sierra Club, we achieved 3 major legislative victories.
Attainable Housing Team
ACT’s Attainable Housing Research Action Team is heavily engaging and reaching out to members with education regarding the the Essential Worker Access Housing Act of 2023.
Turnaround Thursday Movement
Turnaround Thursday is a second chance jobs movement. Learning from Turnaround Tuesday’s success in Baltimore, this movement prepares, trains and connects returning citizens, unemployed, underemployed and residents to living wage jobs and foster leadership in the community.
Action Research Teams
Our campaigns are lead by Action Research Teams – teams of diverse leaders who research to identify strategic solutions to community problems and shape actions to build power and win on the issues that matter most.
