Dear John,

 

In the spring of 2020, over 60 Maine organizations and individuals came together to reimagine our systems and policies in light of COVID-19 and the inequities it laid bare. Many of us contributed our expertise, insights, and perspectives to build a Vision for an Equitable Maine (VEM).

 

Yesterday we joined dozens of leaders from those diverse organizations in Augusta to call on legislators to pass priority bills that will address systemic inequities in Maine.

 

Here’s a photo of the VEM groups gathered outside of the State House in Augusta yesterday.

The Vision for an Equitable Maine priority bills will:

  • Restore the Wabanaki tribes’ inherent rights to self-govern;
  • Ensure everyone has access to healthcare regardless of their immigration status;
  • Increase affordable housing and compact development; and
  • Generate better data so that Maine legislators can make more equitable decisions.

Wabanaki self-governance, healthcare, and affordable housing are good for people and our planet. These bills help create resilient communities, which is at the heart of tackling the climate crisis.

 

There are only a few weeks remaining in the 130th Legislature and, unfortunately, most of these bills need your help. Join us in urging Maine’s lawmakers to address systemic inequities. Click here to email your State Senator and Representative to ask for their support of Vision for an Equitable Maine’s priority bills.
