Membership
Economic Action Maryland unites individual consumer advocates, poverty and consumer organizations, and grassroots members to press for policies that protect vulnerable Marylanders. Economic Action Maryland and our members are dedicated to fighting for economic justice and inclusion. Together, we uncover systemic issues in our financial system and work to create policies that don’t just put Band-Aids on problems, but heal the system for good.
Membership is the best way to support Economic Action Maryland’s work – it allows us to count on your support for the entire year and ensure our policy priorities are tied directly into the needs of the community. By incorporating our partners and supporters as official members, we can better offer those invested in consumer rights opportunities to participate, learn, and guide our work.
