The Office of the State Attorney presiding over the August 22 Annapolis criminal district court docket rightfully dismissed all charges in the case where seven activists from immigrant advocacy organization CASA were arrested for calling for access to healthcare outside of the Annapolis Statehouse in April.
Held on one of the last days of the Maryland legislative session, over one hundred activists from CASA, as well as coalition partners, gathered for a rally for the Access to Care Act. At the end of the event, police arrested seven CASA activists as they stood at the steps of the statehouse holding a banner with the message, “Healthcare is a human right.”
