Maryland ID holders with hidden disabilities and state advocates
Worth noticing

Field notes

The page links the marker to a broader awareness spectrum, saying the butterfly’s colors represent hidden disabilities; it also notes that the black butterfly began with the full spectrum. Its navigation points toward state information, a newsroom, invitations, and merchandise, although the extracted preview does not show those sections’ contents. A site-wide notice says the official launch is still forthcoming.
