A look back at 2018…<\/h2>\n

Did you know that Maine’s progressive grassroots and advocacy groups held more than 50 statewide rallies, marches and protests in 2018? That we made thousands of calls to our MoCs and legislators? That we knocked on tens of thousands of doors to get out the vote?<\/p>\n

We’ve put together the video below to highlight the many ways Mainers showed up for justice, human rights, and democracy in 2018. Members of the groups featured here come from all across the state, fellow Persisters working to leave our state, country and world better than we found it. We stood together in good times and bad…and we’ll stand together in 2019.\u00a0Onward.<\/p>\n

Suit Up Maine is a statewide, all-volunteer, progressive, grassroots group of more than 5,400 Mainers that seeks to create and foster a more informed and engaged electorate. We raise awareness of and advocate for policies and legislation that promote equity and equality in civil rights, social justice, health care, the environment, education, the economy, and other areas that affect the lives of all people. We are\u00a0beholden to issues and action, not parties or politicians, and we aren\u2019t engaged in fundraising. Suit Up Maine fosters collaboration among our state\u2019s progressive groups and organizations to collectively connect, educate, and motivate Mainers to rise in non-violent resistance to a regressive agenda.<\/p>\n
