Virtual Rally and Day of Action to Pass the Plastic Bag Reduction Act

Thursday, February 4th  •  12:30 pm

On February 4th at 12:30 pm, community organizers, businesses, and elected officials from across the state will host a virtual rally and day of action in support of the Plastic Bag Reduction Act. This important bill would protect the six local laws already in existence in Maryland that limit plastic bags and implement a simple, statewide standard to ban them. Event organizers will lead rally goers in a mass phone bank and social media push to ensure lawmakers are hearing from their constituents on the issue. The rally occurs as microplastics and other forms of plastic pollution continue to accumulate in the Chesapeake Bay, threatening the 96,000 jobs and $6B in GDP in Maryland that depend on a clean coast.

REGISTER HERE for our Feb 4th virtual rally and day of action in support of the Plastic Bag Reduction Act.

WHO:

WHY: We need the Maryland General Assembly to prioritize banning plastic bags this year. Together we can ban plastic bags in Maryland! Will you join us?
