What We Do
VOTER OUTREACH
In 2020, we're going to increase voter turnout by working with marginalized communities, especially young people, immigrants and low-income workers. We will register students and new citizens to vote, canvass through our Neighbor-to-Neighbor program, and publish a non-partisan voter guide that reaches 100,000 Mainers.

ADVOCACY
We will continue to fight for election security, meaningful choices, and representation that isn't distorted by big money. We will push for a ban on corporate contributions to candidates so that they represent voters, not donors. We will continue to advocate for Maine to join the national popular vote compact because every vote for a presidential candidate matters.
