Welcome to Baltimore Yearly Meeting!
Baltimore Yearly Meeting builds and nurtures a strong and vibrant Quaker community across the Mid-Atlantic. We seek to build community, grow in the life of the spirit, discern right action, and bear witness in the world. BYM includes Quaker meetings in parts of Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. The BYM Office, located in Sandy Spring, MD, provides technical support to local Quaker Meetings and opportunities for Quakers in our region to work, play, serve, learn, and grow spiritually together as Friends.
Join BYM Friends at 10am on Saturday, April 13th for our annual Budget & Apportionment Meeting.

The Maryland Alliance For Justice Reform is having an information session 6:30-8 pm, at the Rockville Memorial Library on Rockville Town Square to alert people in Montgomery County about legislation for the upcoming Maryland Assembly: the Maryland Pretrial Reinvestment Act for 2017. Pretrial detention rates for citizens arrested but still presumed innocent have increased substantially in Maryland. Over 6,000 Marylanders per year are "low risk" but must spend weeks in jail before trial simply due to poverty. MAJR has joined with interfaith and community leaders to advocate for changes of state law to reduce unnecessary pretrial detention while still preserving public safety. Learn how you and other voters can persuade our legislators to fix the unfairness of Maryland's pretrial - bail system.
