Maine Home for All
Everyone deserves to feel safe, be with family, and build the life they want here in Maine.
In the face of unrelenting attacks on immigrants and so many other communities, we must say clearly and with conviction: Maine is a home for ALL!
SHARE THE MESSAGE
The Maine Home for All campaign was partially inspired by periodic social media posts by U.S. Border Patrol in Maine picturing enforcement vehicles in front of beloved Maine landmarks.
We’re reclaiming that imagery with a different message — one of welcome, belonging, and home.
We invite you to go to one of your favorite places in Maine — anywhere from an iconic site to your own backyard — to share a message of welcome and solidarity and declare that Maine is Home for All.
PRINT a poster, color one in, or make your own with the phrase “Maine, Home For All.” Posters are available for download below.
TAKE A PHOTO of your poster somewhere in Maine.
SHARE on social media using the hashtag #MaineHomeforAll.
Social media is also a great tool for targeted advocacy! You can tag your elected officials in your post to let them know that making Maine a home for all is important to you.
CALL TO ACTION
You can help spread the message to your elected officials too!
SAMPLE SCRIPT:
"My name is _____, and I am a resident of _____. I am proud to call Maine home and I am committed to making Maine a home for all. I will not stand by as community members are ripped from their families or made to live in fear. I call on you to take action to protect immigrant communities by consistently opposing mass immigration enforcement and deportation, rejecting false and dehumanizing narratives that seek to criminalize immigrants, and defending due process. Will you join me in ensuring Maine is home for ALL?”
