EXCELLENT RESOURCES for activists:
https://maineimmigrantrights.org/ Immigrant Rights Coalition - lots of info
https://www.activatemaine.com/calendar lists upcoming rallies
https://mainepeoplesalliance.org/legislative-priorities/
Great, easy to use forms fill in the names of your legislators and offer draft language (that you can change) in support of tax fairness, subsidized childcare and more. Lots of other info as well.

go to How You Can Get Involved - testify. It’s best to find the hearing date for the bill you choose so your testimony is received before the hearing (which is the deadline).
