Our Goal

Our goal is to share resources and support people in Maine who want to engage in social change work, particularly those who are the most affected by oppressive systems. We strive to build infrastructure and strengthen cross-issue, statewide movement building by increasing leadership development for grassroots organizers, promoting democratic practices within organizations, and supporting work that gets to root causes of injustice.

Our Mission

Our mission is to build and support a movement for nonviolent social change that will educate, activate, & empower people in Maine through grassroots community organizing.
