Here We Are. Send Us!
Join us on Tuesday, January 14, at 4pm, for the first in a series of online “town hall” gatherings to discuss ways Maine’s communities of faith can be prepared to respond when vulnerable groups are targeted by the new administration. We will focus specifically on effective strategies for 4 especially vulnerable groups: immigrants, LGBTQ folks, women seeking reproductive health care, and the environment.
