Issue Position: Economic Justice

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2018

Far too many Marylanders don't know where their next meal will come from, and are living paycheck to paycheck, while the income and wealth gap continue to widen. Lorig will advocate for comprehensive legislation to build a just economy, which is the foundation that ensures working people can support their families' futures. Economic justice includes fair pay, a $15 minimum wage, paid sick and family leave, worker protections, high quality healthcare, affordable childcare, and support for strong unions. State policy must support the worker training needed to advance in employment and enter new and promising industries.
