Honorees
Founding Leader

Has been a fearless youth leader with AIM since 2018, testifying at the local and state level and helping to win improvements to schools, recreation, and addressing climate change.
Keynote Speaker
Rep. Jamie Raskin
US Congress, Maryland District 8
Representative Jamie Raskin is known for his deep connection to the community and his long-term investment in on-the-ground organizing and developing leaders and organizers. He is also renowned for his sharp mind on constitutional law.
Rep. Raskin worked with AIM and our sister organizations on the Maryland DREAM Act and protecting mobile home owners across the state. He has been a Maryland’s District 8 member of the US House of Representatives since 2017, and he previously served as a Maryland State Senator from 2006 to 2017.
Congressman Raskin has invested much of his time and energy in the development of on-the-ground organizers to engage everyday people in our democracy. We are thrilled to have a keynote speaker who shares our value of engaging people across different backgrounds in our democracy.
