Maine legislators can shift the costs to those truly responsible for this damage: Big Oil.\n\nThis live gallery will be an opportunity to remind Maine legislators of the impacts the climate crisis is having on our state as they go into the 2026 legislative session and vote on the Climate Superfund Act. \nThe gallery showing will take place at the State House on Tuesday January 27th from 9 to 11am\, but the action day itself will go from 8:30 to 11:30am. We hope you can join!
