Visited one of our school-based immunization clinics. This is exactly what the Child Health Equity Act is all about: ✔️ Preventive care ✔️ No red tape ✔️ Right where kids already are: school. Equity means access. And our kids deserve nothing less. #PhyliciaPorter #District10

Joined the ribbon-cutting at Harlem Park’s Exelon STEM Center last week to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Cal Ripken Jr.’s 2,131 record. Partnerships like this, with the Baltimore Orioles, BGE, Exelon Fdn & Cal Ripken Sr Fdn, show what’s possible when we invest in our young people.

Baltimore has no shortage of clinics, yet too many deliver empty promises. This crisis is about neighbors, families, & friends. Read my op-ed, “Too many clinics, too little healing: Rethinking addiction treatment in Baltimore,” in AFRO News afro.com: afro.com/baltimore-opio…

This weekend, Comptroller Lierman, Councilwoman Porter, and I heard from scientific researchers about just how dire their situation is thanks to RFK Jr. The cuts this Admin has made on things like cancer and Alzheimer’s research will have consequences for decades to come.

Thank you to Senator Angela Alsobrooks, Councilwoman Phylicia Porter , and the local members of UAW for the thoughtful discussion this past weekend at the Science Funding Town Hall. In Maryland, we know that investing in science drives our society toward a healthier, safer, and more prosperous

Blood donations save lives. I joined the Baltimore Orioles, MedStar Health & American Red Cross last week for a Sickle Cell Awareness Month blood drive at Camden Yards. For families living with sickle cell, every donation matters.

Henrietta Lacks changed the world, and her legacy lives on in Baltimore. Proud to join the unveiling of a new mural in her honor, a reminder of the courage, resilience & impact that continue to inspire us today.

October is Child Health Awareness Month, & so many of our young people are facing deep unmet needs. That’s why I introduced the Child Health Equity Act earlier this year to ensure we prioritize the physical, mental, & behavioral health of Baltimore’s children.

The opioid crisis isn’t abstract; it’s personal for me. This fight is about dismantling the systems that profit from addiction and building ones that help people heal, work, and live with dignity. Cc Ebony McMorris

Today, we honor our veterans for their courage, sacrifice, and service to our nation and communities. 💜
