SUPPORT
Show your support for those in recovery by endorsing the Maryland Recovery Platform. This platform was built by listening to the grassroots recovery community and will help prioritize and identify community and legislative solutions that will address laws that relate to substance use disorder.
Laws matter -- and they are often a matter of life and death.

As a proud supporter of recovery, I proudly endorse the Maryland Recovery Advocacy Project's Platform.
The platform was created after listening to people in Recovery of many pathways, family members, and allies who shared their experiences and barriers they are facing in communities all across Maryland.
People in recovery have value and can be a resource to decision makers all across Maryland.
We stand with candidates and policymakers who support recovery choice and pathways for all Marylanders.
The grassroots priorities are to:
Improve Access by reducing barriers to harm reduction, mental health, housing, and family support services, while promoting equitable access to peer recovery support services. The aim is to also improve access by supporting culturally appropriate services and advocate for grassroots recovery-oriented community organizations in each jurisdiction.
Secure Justice by decriminalizing addiction by treating it as a public health issue, actively oppose employment and housing discrimination based on a person’s addiction or recovery status, and advocate for services for citizens returning from incarceration.
Today, I am joining others in the Recovery Community to have my voice heard and STAND UP for RECOVERY by endorsing this support statement around the Maryland Platform.
