This free Montgomery County resource fair will provide residents with a wide range of information about public health and wellness, including reproductive rights; job skills training and contracting; and available resources so residents understand their rights.

“We will not let anything said or done in Washington, D.C. undermine the progress we have made or eliminate the protections and services we provide for our community members,” said Council President Andrew Friedson. “Together, we stand unified with our community partners and residents and recommit ourselves to making sure Montgomery County remains an outstanding place to live, work, worship and raise a family.” 

“As we prepare for the change in federal administration, our first priority is to the residents of Montgomery County and to continue the work of being a welcoming and inclusive community,” said Council Vice President Kate Stewart. “It is our intent to mitigate any potential harm by maintaining and providing local county services—and the first step is making sure residents are aware of what is available and know who they can turn to for assistance.” 

“There are going to be changes at the federal level that we need to be ready for, but Montgomery County will continue to do what we have been doing for years, making our County inclusive and welcoming for everyone who lives here,” said County Executive Marc Elrich. “We are focused on delivering the services that people need and this event is the beginning of letting our residents know that we are the same community, despite what happens in Washington, D.C. As leaders, we must stand together and show our residents we are fighting for them.”
