⚠️ There aren't enough public health workers t ⚠️ There aren't enough public health workers to staff vaccination clinics or enough vaccine to protect Mainers.
⚠️ 1 in 5 Maine children are food insecure. 
⚠️ More than 27% of Maine families are struggling to pay for basic needs.
⚠️ Cash-strapped Maine town and city governments have had to lay off staff.

President Biden's proposed COVID aid package would bring badly-needed resources to Maine, including increased food and housing assistance, funding for COVID vaccine distribution, and support for small businesses. Sen. Angus King and Rep. Chellie Pingree have expressed support for a package. Rep. Jared Golden has not made any statements on additional aid and Sen. Susan Collins told a reporter she doesn't think more aid is needed right now. (Yes, you read that right.)

Time to share your family's story with your members of Congress.

As Maine's first-in-the-nation earned paid leave l As Maine's first-in-the-nation earned paid leave law goes into effect today, we'd like to thank Rep. Rebecca Millett (D) for her sponsorship of this important legislation. Today also marks another increase to Maine's minimum wage, thanks to a referendum passed by Maine voters in 2016 (and which Maine Republicans have tried--repeatedly, but unsuccessfully--to overturn). 

Dirigo.

Sharing this beautiful artwork by Lendl Romero, S Sharing this beautiful artwork by  Lendl Romero, SACRIFICES, from @amplifierart. So grateful to all the health care workers in Maine and across the nation and world.

More about this piece from Amplifier:

Lendl shared that this artwork is about "A Greater risk of everything in life is what our Medical People are willing to sacrifice fighting this life threatening pandemic. Most countries are not prepared and it comes with a prize . My art speaks everything lacking on our Health Care System . We may get through this soon but we need to provide them the liberty and support they need. To our Front liners we salute and pray for the strength you put into despite the lack of measures of our Government."

An important reminder from @skye.sturm from our Covid-19 Open Call for messages promoting public health and safety during these challenging times. 

Skye shared that she created this artwork to celebrate all of the acts of selflessness and kindness, both big and small, that we have seen during the pandemic. 
She also shared, “I was also seeing so much hatred and blame. I wanted to remind people to withhold judgement, to remember that we are all in this together and that a little kindness goes a long way. Even wearing a mask and maintaining distance is an act of kindness and respect to those around us.”

Special thanks to @thewellbeingp for helping us select artwork to uplift mental health and well-being from the open call!

You may know her as the gal-next-door from Maine. You may know her as the gal-next-door from Maine. Or Iowa. Or Kansas. She's an actor in attack ads paid for by a dark money PAC led by Mitch McConnell's chief of staff.

Don't believe what she says about Sara Gideon or anyone else.

MAINERS! Get that absentee ballot to your town cle MAINERS! Get that absentee ballot to your town clerk or your town's drop box by 8 pm on Election Day! And if you're heading to the polls Tuesday, be sure to dress warmly and bring some water as the lines could be longer than usual due to expected high turnout and  limits on the number of people allowed inside your polling station. Let's do this!
