Women from all over Maryland gathered in Annapolis Monday night to rally in support of pro-female legislation.
Bills supporting reproductive justice, earned sick/safe leave, economic security and opposition to violence against women have all been introduced in Maryland, and politicians want their citizens to know about it.
