Students from the programs Pa’Lante and PGC attended a rally in PG County in support of Maryland’s Lieutenant Governor Anthony Brown last October. At the time, Brown was running for Governor of Maryland.

Students heard speeches from Congressman Elijah Cummings, Governor Martin O’Malley, Lt. Governor Brown, and even President Obama. All of the speakers sent the urgent message to get out to the polls and vote and to remember the rights that we have fought so hard to gain.

The students who attended were Franklin Aguilar, Jennifer Aristy Moran, Charles Jennings, Adiya Mason, and Heidy Ramirez. Ms. O’Brien (formerly Flores), her daughter, and Mr. Benton and his wife and son also attended the event.
