Protecting Democracy by Getting Out the Vote

Third Act Mainers are coming together for Democracy!

Third Act Maine’s Western Mountains Hub held its Get Ready to Vote concert on the evening of September 26. We were honored to have Governor Janet Mills come to speak to those present. It appeared that everyone enjoyed the music and conversations. In addition to this work, and in the spirit of Bill McKibben’s request that we all focus on Climate AND Democracy, our local Third Act members are staffing voter registration tables each week on the campus of the University of Maine at Farmington.

In Cape Elizabeth, the Greater Portland Hub gathered together to get out the vote with a postcard party using the well-organized campaign “Vote Forward” to focus on registered voters in swing states.

Kathy Mikulka hosted a letter writing gathering through Vote Forward. Here, the group is writing to registered voters in Georgia, urging them to vote.
