On May 16th, we held our Friends of ACT Kickoff event, where we celebrated our 2023 donors and launched our 2024 Friends of ACT campaign! We are excited for this year’s campaign to expand our work by raising $55,000, and we already have commitments for $22,000!
As we launch this year’s campaign, please consider:
- Giving to ACT or increasing your monthly donation if you already give. Donate Here
- Joining our ACT Money Team! We are looking for people to have relational conversations about ACT and invite others to give. To participate, email Katie Zinler (katie@actaaco.org) or Linda Hanifin Bonner (lhanifinbonner@gmail.com).

We are excited to announce our Summer Training Series for ACT, AIM, and PATH on leading effective teams working towards justice. We’ll share creative strategies for building a core team to connect your congregation or community to the broader work of our network and help achieve your mission, while making our work fun and effective. There will be 6 sessions, some in person and some on Zoom. See the full schedule and sign up here:
ACT, PATH, AIM and our partner organizations strategically worked together in the Maryland State House this year with significant results. It was our first year as three organizations working together on multiple issue areas at the same time, and preparation for where we want to go as a statewide collective. Together, we helped pass three key pieces of affordable housing and climate equity legislation that will make a real difference in people’s lives.
