1) repealing Maryland’s unconstitutional anti-BDS executive order
2) ending public funding for the Maryland Israel Development Center (MIDC) that brings Israeli weapons manufacturers into the state
3) designating January as ‘Muslim American Heritage Month’ in Maryland to combat Islamophobia and promote inclusivity
4) enhancing penalties for doxxing attacks against students
5) Second Look Act to address extreme sentencing and mass incarceration
6) Not on Our Dime Act that would prohibit nonprofit organizations from supporting illegal Israeli settlements
7) protecting vulnerable tenants including refugees and immigrants against arbitrary evictions
8) ending 287(g) contracts that deputize local law enforcement officials to perform the roles of ICE agents
9) Maryland Voting Rights Act to boost election transparency and prohibit voter suppression
