We are an official subcommittee of the Howard County Democratic Party, focused on community outreach, civic education, and direct action. Our mission is to educate, engage, and mobilize the people of Howard County around local Democratic values, policies, and candidates—with a strong emphasis on equity, accountability, and people-powered change. What sets OBH apart is our hands-on approach:
- We organize protests, rallies, and voter outreach events
- We build partnerships with other local organizations and advocacy groups
- We develop educational content to help residents better understand how local government works
And we strive to create inclusive, welcoming spaces where everyday people feel empowered to take action
We are proud to be part of the Democratic Party, but we operate with a bold, activist spirit. OBH was created to bridge the gap between politics and people—to meet folks where they are and make change feel possible.
