Dear Friend of MCV/MCA,

Join us for the 23rd Evening for the Environment on Thursday, October 23, featuring a timely program: Environmental Justice in Action: National Defense and State-Level Progress .
Pete Maysmith, president of the League of Conservation Voters, will be joined by Maine advocates Francis Eanes, Lucy Hochschartner, Kaya Lolar, and Adam Nordell to spotlight efforts driving a healthier, more just, and sustainable future.

Nature poet Samaa Abdurraqib will also share her powerful piece, Because Winter is Warming .

It will be an inspiring evening of community, conversation, and connection. We hope to see you there.

📅 Date: Thursday, October 23, 2025
⏰ Time: 6:00 – 8:00 PM
📍 Location: UNE Innovation Hall, 772 Stevens Ave, Portland

During the 6-6:45 reception, several Maine-based social justice and youth-focused nonprofits will host information tables. MCV/MCA envisions a Maine where nature and people thrive through an inclusive democracy, a sustainable economy, and equitable access to a healthy climate, land, air, and water. Advancing this vision takes collective effort, and we’re proud to share space with other organizations doing powerful work across the state (see list below).
We would love to share this exciting evening with you!

Team MCV/MCA - Chloe, Gabe, Kate, Maggie, Maureen, Nick, Peter, Rani, Sarah, and Stacie
