Donate to MPA

The MPA Legislative Fund supports our advocacy efforts with a lobbyist who works on behalf of MPA in Annapolis. Achieving PSYPACT in Maryland was due in part to the work of our lobbyists from Barbara Marx Brocato and Associates. Please consider making a donation today!

Sending MPA members to the legislators' fundraisers with tickets purchased with MPA PAC funds encourages legislators to recognize psychologists as players in the political arena. Larger contributions from the PAC during election years help the re-election of legislators who have shown themselves to be willing to champion our issues. These activities are very important to our strength in the General Assembly.

Here are a couple of examples of how MPA PAC has worked for you:

Through lobbying, grassroots advocacy and MPA PAC support, Maryland became a PSYPACT state in 2021. You can read more about our PSYPACT advocacy efforts here. Because of our fundraising efforts during our PSYPACT celebration, we raised over $5,000 for MPA PAC!

Following years of fighting against and successfully defeating legislation that put mental health professionals in Maryland at risk of criminal conviction for "failure to report child abuse and neglect," MPA's relationships with legislators paid dividends; there was finally legislation put forth regarding failure to report child abuse and neglect, which was balanced enough that MPA was able to voice support. Moreover, during this legislative session, MPA's legislative committee monitored eight proposed bills related to child abuse and neglect reporting, and due to our relationships in Annapolis, was able to have an influence on the outcome of these bills.

Please make the decision to support these efforts and donate to the MPA PAC as it continues supporting and advocating on behalf of all psychologists practicing in Maryland.
