On June 25, the Supreme Court handed down its decision in Mullin v. Doe, ruling 6-3 that the Trump administration can move forward with terminating Temporary Protected Status for roughly 350,000 Haitians (and about 6,000 Syrians) living and working in the United States. In its ruling, the Court didn’t say the termination was wise, humane, or even lawful. What it said is arguably more alarming—and worth being precise about, because the ruling did two distinct things.

The primary election is just days away, and the midterm general elections will be upon us before we know it, so the Electoral Action Group of the Indivisible Maryland Coalition (a statewide network that we belong to, along with most of the other Indivisible chapters across the state!) has put together some wonderful resources related to candidate action, voter engagement, voter suppression, election subversion, and more—and we’re delighted to share a few of them here!

When we at Charm City Indivisible issue an endorsement, we always want to be clear that it rests on affirmative support for our endorsed candidate, not simply dislike of their opponent. While our decision to weigh in on a race may be influenced by a clear gap between the candidates, those who ultimately earn our endorsement do so on their own merits, not just as the lesser of two evils. Because of that, we generally refrain from commenting on why an endorsement was not offered to a particular candidate—we’d far rather talk about the strengths of the candidates we choose to endorse than the shortcomings of those we don’t! However, in the case of State Senate District 46, we’re making an exception.
We know this is a contentious race, with strong feelings on both sides—in the electorate and among our own membership—and so we want to be very deliberately transparent about our thought process. We also know, since we’ve mentioned that the incumbent, Senator Bill Ferguson, chose not to participate in our endorsement process, some may believe that we endorsed his opponent “by default,” or that the outcome might have been different had the Senator chosen to engage with us. We write today to correct that impression. […]
If you’ve been following our posts over the last several weeks, you know that we’ve been issuing endorsements in a number of races for the upcoming primary election! Now, we want to compile all of our recommendations in one place, so you can easily refer to them, share them, and get ready to go vote. So, without further ado, we’re thrilled to to present the Charm City Indivisible 2026 Primary Election Voter Guide! […]
Charm City Indivisible is thrilled to endorse Ashley Esposito for reelection to the Baltimore City Board of School Commissioners!
Plenty of candidates can tell you they believe in educational equity. What Ashley Esposito brings to it is a rare combination: she knows firsthand what vulnerable students need to thrive—because she was one of them—and she has the governance and systems experience to build that support into how the district works. Both of those things are real expertise, and together they make her exactly the kind of board member Baltimore’s kids need. She has earned our endorsement through her record, her values, and a vision for Baltimore’s schools that is as specific as it is ambitious. […]
Charm City Indivisible is proud to announce our endorsement of Tiffany Welch for the Maryland House of Delegates in District 40!
There’s a line Tiffany Welch came back to again and again when we sat down with her—a sentence that turns out to be the key to almost everything she’s done: opportunity and access are not the same thing. It sounds simple, but it’s the difference between a city that announces a multimillion-dollar investment in West Baltimore and a block where that investment never actually arrives. It’s the difference between a state grant that exists on paper and a neighborhood developer who waits two years for the red tape to clear. Tiffany has spent her career working to close that gap, and we couldn’t be more excited at the thought of her bringing that focus and energy to Annapolis. […]
Chezia Cager is a little different from most of the candidates we’ve endorsed, many of whom focused their conversations with us on what they’ll fight for. Chezia’s focus, by contrast, was not on the what, but on the how. She speaks carefully, never overpromising, and always drawing on the decades of government experience that have taught her that the distance between a policy on paper and a difference in someone’s life is where most of the real work lives.
Her own framing says it best: leadership should not be symbolic. It must be present, prepared, and accountable. From most candidates that reads as a slogan. From her, it’s a job description, and it’s why we’re proud to endorse her for election to the Maryland House of Delegates in District 41. […]
Charm City Indivisible is proud to announce our endorsement of Dianté Edwards for the Maryland House of Delegates in District 40!
Dianté Edwards is a Navy veteran and neighborhood leader who has spent his life showing up for the people around him. He’s running because he has seen, up close, how hard it is to get Annapolis to deliver for the communities that need it most—and he brings an ambitious vision for housing, a campaign funded by neighbors rather than corporate interests, and a grounded honesty that we believe will make him the responsive delegate District 40 deserves. […]
For only the second time in our city’s history, voters will get to directly elect members of Baltimore’s Board of School Commissioners this year—and Charm City Indivisible is thrilled to endorse Domonique Flowers for one of those two elected seats! His long history of working on behalf of young people, and his careful, honest engagement with the real challenges they face, has earned our wholehearted support. […]Read more
Charm City Indivisible is proud to announce our endorsement of Delegate Malcolm Ruff for Maryland State Senate District 41.
In a short time in Annapolis, Malcolm Ruff has done something rare: he has turned a powerful committee seat into concrete, visible investment in the West Baltimore neighborhoods that have been overlooked the longest—and paired that investment with a sophisticated, sustained record on criminal justice and racial accountability. Now, he’s fighting for a Senate that actually delivers for District 41. He has earned our endorsement through his work, his values, and his vision for what West Baltimore can be when its representatives show up and produce results. […]
