Maryland Delegates Heather Mizeur (D-20, Montgomery County) and Keiffer Mitchell Jr. (D-44, Baltimore City) are set to host a Marriage Equality Town Hall in Silver Spring Thursday, Jan. 19 to make their push for turning the Civil Marriage Protection Act into law.

The meeting starts at 7 p.m. inside of the Silver Spring Civic Building.

As the 90-day legislation session gets under in Annapolis, Mizeur is making another push for marriage equality.
