Allies for Democracy

The fight for Democratic values continues!

Republicans may have consolidated power in Washington, DC, but in 17 states across the nation, including Maryland, state and local power is in our hands. We will use it to make Maryland a beacon of progressive American values from which we can defend the vulnerable, expand our coalition, and prepare to win in 2026 and 2028. Sign up below to join us in effective, strategic actions that will:

  • Champion freedom, diversity, and justice for all, at every level from our local communities to the state and the region
  • Stiffen the spines of our representatives in Washington, DC to stand up for progressive American values and refuse to obey the Project 2025 agenda in advance
  • Expand our coalition and prepare to win elections in 2026 and 2028

Allies for Democracy is a group of grassroots activists based in Baltimore County, Maryland. Our network of volunteers initiated over 200,000 calls to voters in 2020, knocked on over 8,000 doors in 2022, and over 25,000 in south-central Pennsylvania and Maryland in 2024.

How to make Maryland a beacon of progressive American values

  • Get organized geographically
    Autocrats win when we’re physically isolated and beholden to virtual “communities” that they control and manipulate. Join a local group near you that meets regularly to stay connected. Check out our partial list of active groups in the Baltimore metro area here.
  • Start new local groups
    Alone, there’s not much we can do but together, we have the power to fight back and win. If there’s no local group of like-minded folks around you, start one. We can help.
  • Stay sane and rested
    While we must respond to policy, we don’t have to absorb every bit of rhetoric emanating from Washington, DC. We will prioritize staying sane and rested so we can respond to the coming challenges with strength and resolve.
  • Be ready to act!
    Allies for Democracy among others will be organizing strategic actions that you and your local group can participate in. Stay connected by signing up for our list and share your ideas for actions here.
