Rally for Our Voice

It is time for the citizens of Anne Arundel County to take back our government and stop
developers and corporate interests from their outsized influence in our political system.

Right now, Bill 23-26 before the County Council would ban developers with business before the
County from making campaign contributions to current members of the County Council, an
incumbent County Executive, or candidates for either office.

Any donations made in the preceding two years must be returned or the recipient would not be
able to vote or take action on the matter, and there are substantial fines for violators.

This is a strong bill, and we salute sponsor Councilwoman Lisa Rodvien for submitting it.

It is time now for us to do our work.

- First, visit https://www.growthaction.net/council to write your Councilmember. Tell them you
strongly support Bill 23-26 and want them to, as well.

- Join us at the Rally for Our Voice Monday, April 20 th , at 6pm at People’s Park across from the
Arundel Center on Calvert Street in Annapolis. Sign up at
https://forms.gle/xagN1HVPqfpSbb2h7

- Then walk across the street at 7pm to the Arundel Center to testify in favor of the bill at the
bill’s first hearing at before the County Council.

This is a strong bill that will help to take back our government, prevent developers and
corporations from dominating our politics, and return to us as citizens the power to make
decisions about the communities in which we live.

Virginia is home to five International Dark Sky Parks, four of which are state parks. They earned their designations from DarkSky International for their exceptional quality of starry nights. However, light pollution is a growing concern.
