Issues<\/h4>\n

We are all connected\u2014and the issues we work on are too!<\/h2>\n

Because we are a people\u2019s organization, we can\u2019t work on just one issue; everyone leads multi-issue lives. Workers are affected by wage laws\u2014but they are also affected by climate change and housing policy. Immigrants deserve a pathway to citizenship and family reunification\u2014and health care and tax justice. Our member-led board decides the issues we work on, based on the lived experience of people in Maine, and where we can concentrate our resources to make the biggest impact.<\/p><\/div><\/div>
