In 2024 Third Act Maine (TAM) was honored to be accepted as a member of the Environmental Priorities Coalition (EPC), a statewide alliance of conservation, climate action, and public health organizations. Collectively, these organizations identify a slate of policy priorities to act on the climate crisis, further environmental justice, protect land, water, and wildlife; and cultivate healthy Maine communities. On Tuesday, January 14, Deb Fahy and Dick Thomas represented TAM at the rollout of the EPC’s nine priority bills for 2025 to legislators at the Maine State House.
TAM is actively supporting the climate change superfund bill currently in development. Modeled on similar bills that passed in Vermont and New York recently, this legislation would make fossil fuel companies help pay for damage caused by climate change. Maine Youth for Climate Justice is taking the lead on this bill, and TAM is proud to be a partner supporting them in this important work, fulfilling our mission to “uplift youth.” TAM volunteers Deb Fahy and Cletis Boyer are representing us in the EPC.
