Lead With Love — Invest in Care!
Join the Maine Drug Policy Coalition to demand a budget that truly reflects Maine values! Testify at the AFA/HHS Public Hearing and make your voice heard—because love means investing in people, not punishment.
An organizer will meet you in the lobby directly after the security checkpoint! We would love it if you could wear pink or red with us! If you need support or get lost, email us at [email protected]
As Maine’s Appropriations and Financial Affairs Committee deliberates about the state budget this Valentine’s Day, we call on our lawmakers to lead with love by prioritizing care over criminalization. Rather than pouring millions into expanding the Department of Public Safety, Maine must invest in absolute community safety—ensuring stable housing, accessible mental health care, and a strong continuum of care for those in crisis.
