Last week, Maine became less welcoming to immigrants and refugees when Governor Paul LePage signed an executive order allowing state officials to inquire about immigration status of those who approach their agencies. Our nation and state have always been beacons of liberty and freedom. Nobody should freeze to death, starve to death, fail to get healthcare, or be afraid to report crimes because of fear of state officials.
Let’s model a Welcoming Maine
What: Community Conversation at 1pm followed by a March at 2pm
Where: Preble Street Resource Center, March from there to City Hall
Who: At City Hall at 2:15pm, come hear community leaders speak about ways to take action.
In the tradition of community action on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we will stand in solidarity and model a welcoming Maine.
