Important Update as of June 2, 2026: The Maryland Department of the Environment has POSTPONED the BRESCO permit hearing originally scheduled for Thursday, June 11. The new date has not yet been announced. It will NOT take place on Thursday, June 11 as originally planned. We will update the SBCLT website calendar with the rescheduled date as soon as we learn of it.
On Wednesday, May 27 we joined with our partners from B’More Just Transition and CEEJH to host a community forum on how Baltimore can stand up for environmental justice.
During our conversation, we talked about how our movement is connected to a larger environmental justice movement nationally and statewide; we recapped the 2026 legislative session including lessons learned from this year’s legislative campaign around the CHERISH Act; and we brainstormed strategies and action for beyond. If you missed the conversation and would like to get caught up, you can review the slides here.
Here are things you can do to take action today!
