Delivering For Black Marylanders
How Governor Moore is delivering for Black Marylanders:
Advancing economic opportunity for Black Marylanders.
Setting Maryland’s Black students up for success.
Creating safer communities for Black Marylanders.
Access to world-class and affordable healthcare.
Creating a diverse and talented government.
Advancing Economic Opportunity For Black Marylanders
Enacted the Family Prosperity Act, which acts as a crucial benefit for Black families across the state, and provided financial stability to 34,000 Maryland children and more than 400,000 low and middle-class Marylanders, raising wages for nearly 64,000 Black workers, created 31,000 jobs for Black Marylanders, awarding Black-owned businesses more than $816 million, and successfully rolled out cannabis legalization and prioritized licensing where 54% of selected applicants were majority black or African American owned businesses.
Setting Maryland’s Black Students Up For Success
Made record investments in our K-12 public schools – investing nearly $10 billion in state funding this year alone which will support nearly 290,000 Black students and increased funding for HBCUs by nearly 60%, investing a total of $1.34 billion towards Maryland’s historically black colleges and universities.
Creating Safer Communities For Black Marylanders
While Black Marylanders disproportionately feel the devastating impacts of gun violence, the Moore-Miller Administration has reduced violent crime and non-fatal shootings to the lowest they’ve been in a decade and Baltimore has experienced historic drops in homicides after eight straight years of 300+ homicides.
Access To World-Class And Affordable Health Care
The Moore-Miller Administration successfully navigated the Medicaid redetermination process and maintained health care for more than 660,000 Black Marylanders across the state.
Creating A Diverse And Talented Government
The Moore-Miller Administration has created the most diverse cabinet in state history, with nearly a third-of appointments being Black.
