Being at Tawes is about showing that the Eastern Shore matters and that our voices count.
When Shore Progress shows up, it’s not just to be seen. It’s to listen, to learn, and to make sure the issues facing our communities, from Crisfield to Chestertown are front and center.
Starting this Thursday, join us for a hybrid phonathon event to connect with residents shorewide, help build our communities up, and spread the word about our Summer Social this July.
In-person will be at a location in Salisbury and will include a potluck!

On Juneteenth, we celebrate resilience, freedom, and the enduring spirit of America’s Black Communities.
Today, we also pay tribute to the Black leaders who dedicate themselves every day to building safer, stronger, and more just communities.

Our Eastern Shore is built on family, faith, and hard work - values we all share. Let’s take care of each other. Let’s protect our students. Let’s keep watch.
This is not just an immigration issue, this is a community safety issue - especially for our students and their families.
No child should walk into a school building in fear. No parent should have to wonder if picking up their child will put them in danger.
🚨 COMMUNITY ALERT: REPORTS OF ICE ACTIVITY NEAR SCHOOLS 🚨
Today, we’ve received multiple reports from school staff, students, and local residents that unmarked ICE vehicles are surveilling Wicomico County schools and circling nearby neighborhoods.
We’ll break down what’s happening in Congress and in Annapolis - and more importantly, how it affects you, your family, and your neighbors. Because what happens in those halls of power is hitting our Shore communities every single day.
Don’t wait. Don’t sit this out - Be there.
