A Vision of an Equitable Maine's goal is that together we can make Maine an equitable place for all our residents. This week the collaborative sent a letter – to which the Portland Public Schools added its signature – to state lawmakers urging them to support affordable housing, equitable access to health care, tribal sovereignty, effective racial impact statements as part of lawmaking, and paid family medical leave.
