Dear John,
I wanted to be sure you saw Lucy’s recent note about Clean Energy Lobby Day, coming up this Thursday in Augusta.
The next few weeks are critical for pushing forward our climate and clean energy priorities, so that we can all access clean, affordable electricity to power our homes, schools, transportation, and so much more. The Energy Fairness Act and a bill to achieve 100% clean electricity by 2040 are two policies being considered at the Maine Legislature RIGHT NOW that can make this future possible; BUT, they need your support.
Will you join us on Thursday to show lawmakers that these practical, commonsense, and people-first bills have broad, overwhelming support from Mainers? |
Thursday, May 22 | 8:30 AM – 12:00 PM Maine State House, Augusta – Check-in at the Welcome Center |
I hope to see you on Thursday in Augusta! – Cathy Breen |

We need an energy system that is going to protect our climate and work for all Mainers, no matter who they are or how much money they make. That’s why we’ll be talking about: -
Passing the Energy Fairness Act to protect customers from high costs and pave the way for a clean energy future.
- Passing a 100% clean by 2040 electricity standard to lower bills, create high-paying, union jobs, and reduce emissions.
-
Showing up for the world we all deserve! This is about a future where all of Maine—including working families, small businesses, and communities—can thrive.
Here’s what you need to know: - 📅When: May 22, 8:30 AM – 12:00 PM
- 📍Where: Maine State House, Augusta
-
👖What to bring: Wear blue to show your support, and bring a homemade sign if you can (we’ll have extras available)
We’ll kick off the day with a short welcome at the State House Welcome Center, then pack the halls to talk with legislators and demonstrate overwhelming support for bold, people-first climate action.
RSVP here to let us know you’ll be there: 👉 Tell lawmakers: Mainers need a clean energy future!
Let’s Power Maine Forward—because a clean energy future means a better future for all Mainers. |
