• Form 990-EZ, Part III, Statement of Program Accomplishmnets. Line 29: In addition to this crucial 2024 election with national races for the U.S. House and Senate, a constitutional amendment adding abortion rights to our state constitution on our ballot gave us the opportunity to plan ahead for grassroots development work we would need for the 2026 Mid-Term Elections. Our work in all areas of our state also focused on GOTV projects for Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris. In the spring we worked in statewide primary campaigns for two open U.S. House seats and numerous open state legislative races. For the latter, we produced a statewide "informational" voters' guide to these races, which we mailed to our members and distributed at primary campaign events. For the fall election and Question #1, our Reproductive Justice Task Force produced literature and buttons which we used statewide during the election campaign, especially on the Eastern Shore, in Baltimore City and Baltimore County, and in Carroll, Cumberland, and St. Mary's Counties in canvassing and GOTV work. In total, we distributed 12,000 palm cards statewide, and we mailed 2,500 voter guides in pre-primary work. We also distributed Maryland NOW promotional materials.

• Form 990-EZ, Part III, Statement of Program Accomplishmnets. Line 30: Maryland NOW's 2024 Annual State Conference. For our first in-person state conference since 2019, and in a critical election year, our state conference-themed "Defending Democracy: Women Leading the Way" was a huge draw, not just for MD NOW members, but activists from our state coalition partners and members in neighboring states (VA, DE, NC) who also attended. Our keynote presentation featured professionals in the political polling field and leaders of other feminist orgnaizations. We had both in-person and virtual attendees and broadcast our workshops and state business meetings - hosting more participants than we had had At state conferences in our 20 years. We are committed to continue to have hybrid events in the forseeable future.
