Dear John,

I hope you will plan to join us this Friday, November 21, from 12-1 PM for our virtual Lunch and Learn: Power in Crisis | Building a Fair Energy Future for Maine.

As Mainers face another winter of high energy bills, frustration with our energy system is growing — and for good reason. Between a federal shutdown threatening assistance programs, the rise of massive energy-hungry data centers, and ongoing utility rate hikes, it’s clear the system isn’t working for the people it’s meant to serve.

Join Lucy Hochschartner, energy activist, former Deputy Campaign Director for Pine Tree Power, and former Climate & Clean Energy Director at Maine Conservation Voters, and Rebecca Schultz, Senior Advocate for Climate & Clean Energy at the Natural Resources Council, for a conversation on how we got here and what it will take to build a fair, affordable, and sustainable energy system for all Mainers. They will share practical steps we can take now — from supporting key legislation to holding utilities accountable — to move from outrage to action and create the energy future Maine deserves.

I hope to see you on Friday,

Maggie
