Yesterday, our staff, members, and allies were at the State House to testify in support of LD 2106, an emergency bill to make sure ICE agents can’t enter private spaces in hospitals, schools, and childcare centers without a judicial warrant. Here's a snippet of MPA's organizational testimony:

A group of faith leaders and other people of faith held a sit-in at Sen. Susan Collins’ Portland office today to urge her to block funding for ICE. Nine people were arrested. This afternoon, Collins called on the Department of Homeland Security to pause the current ICE surge in Maine and Minnesota.

In response to operations by ICE in Maine, Maine People’s Alliance is issuing the following response from Amy Halsted (she/her), MPA co-director: mainepeoplesalliance.org/mpa-response...

With the current surge of ICE here in Maine, so many of us are wanting to do more to help our immigrant community stay safe. Two tangible ways you can help are by becoming a community watch verifier or an operator for the Maine ICE Watch Hotline.

We are calling on Sen. Susan Collins to stand up for Mainers and vote to extend premium tax credits for three years! #HealthcareHeist

Congress should work together NOW to make sure prices don’t go up even more. Republicans cut healthcare and sent monthly health costs skyrocketing, but they can still bring down costs for millions if they act now. #HealthcareHeist

The cost of everything is going up and the last thing people can afford is more expensive healthcare. Despite knowing this, Trump and Congressional Republicans are cutting healthcare for everyday working families, including thousands of Mainers. #HealthcareHeist

2026 is going to be a busy year with lots of challenges and opportunities, which is why we're offering trainings so we can all be better equipped with the skills needed to drive social change. Trainings are open to everyone! Learn more and apply here: mainepeoplesalliance.org/events/categ...

We strongly oppose the attempt to put a question on the 2026 ballot that, if passed, would force Maine schools to ban trans and nonbinary students from playing on sports teams and using bathrooms/locker rooms aligned w/ their gender identity. If you see petitioners for this, please decline to sign!

"Having to pay so much more for insurance will mean that more people will go without, and more people will die. Sen. Collins has to understand that protecting our health care needs to be her first priority.” — Megan Smith (middle), an MPA community organizer in Bangor
