What We Do

VOTER OUTREACH
In 2023, 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 develop curricula to educate young people about government and civic engagement.

OUR KEY ISSUES
We will continue to fight for election security, meaningful choices, and representation that isn't distorted by big money. We will educate and spread good information on Ranked Choice Voting. We will continue to advocate for Maine to join the national popular vote compact because every vote for a presidential candidate matters.
