Maryland · Self-Determination
Maryland drew Washington's lines. On a fair ballot, it nears a majority.
There is no organized movement for Maryland self-determination yet, and that is exactly what we are here to change.
Marylandadults in Maryland would back independence when the question is asked the way a ballot asks it: calm, binary, and peaceful. That's about 45% of the state.
Even the understated abstract poll counts 709,000 (15%). How we get this number →

The other 525 are chosen by people who don't live here.
The only question that matters
Maryland is already a nation in all but name.
If Maryland were already a self-governing nation, with its own border, its own money, its own defense, everything two hundred other nations control, and the vote in front of you was not whether to leave, but whether to join the United States on the terms it offers today, would you vote yes?
Cast your vote
Maryland was settled by people who insisted on deciding matters for themselves. It ratified its own constitution before anyone told it to, it carved out the ground the federal capital now sits on, and for centuries it has drawn its own lines and kept its own counsel. Put the question plainly on a ballot, calm and binary and peaceful, and about 45% of Maryland adults say they would vote to leave the union. That is close to 2.1 million people, within reach of a majority.
The 45% is the honest number. An abstract poll asks people to react to a loose idea, so it undercounts. A ballot asks for one peaceful choice, yes or no, and when the question is put that way support runs about 30 points above the abstract poll. That puts Maryland at or near a majority. Maryland leaned Democratic in 2020, which is rather the point: deciding who governs you is not a red thing or a blue thing.
What is missing here is each other. The largest independence movement in the country brings the playbook and the connections. We do not run your group and we do not take your money. You build what Maryland's movement looks like, and we help you find the people already standing next to you.
