An Open Letter to the 'Vote Uncommitted' Movement
On behalf of the Maryland Green Party, we would like to congratulate the organizers, advocates, and voters who helped to secure nearly 65,000 votes for “Uncommitted” in the Maryland Democratic Primary. In doing so, these voters used the power of the ballot to demand an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, demonstrating that any vote for President Joe Biden can and will be contingent upon an end to US support of the ongoing genocide enacted by the state of Israel.

Maryland Green Party Response to the Key Bridge Collapse
The Maryland Green Party sends our love and solidarity to the people of the Baltimore area as we watch the news about the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. Several repair workers died in the collapse. We are saddened by these tragic and unnecessary deaths. The impact of this disaster goes beyond those that lost their life and their families. The Key Bridge was a major part of the local economy and regional transit infrastructure. Greens believe that we need to invest in infrastructure, regulate the transnational shipping industry, move beyond a coal-based economy, and use precautionary principles to ensure that economic growth in places like the Baltimore Harbor protects the needs of workers, communities, and the environment. The reconstruction of the Key Bridge must ensure that the communities surrounding it do not become a space of environmental sacrifice.
Ranked Choice Voting Now!
March 1, 2024
The Forward, Libertarian, and Green Parties agree: the people of Maryland deserve greater legitimacy and confidence in our electoral system. We have inherited our way of voting from the 1700s, and other systems exist that would better represent the voter diversity across Maryland.
The three parties, representing the political spectrum in Maryland, announce our joint support for electoral reform, including Ranked Choice Voting and Independent Redistricting Commissions and will jointly advocate for immediate legislation to effect their implementation throughout the State of Maryland.
