Native Americans for Harris coalition launch!

Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz will safeguard and strengthen the bonds between our nations, uphold our trust and treaty obligations, honor Tribal sovereignty, and ensure Tribal self-determination.

Throughout her career, Vice President Harris has prioritized the well-being of Native women, children, and families, and throughout his career, Governor Walz has affirmed the right to self-governance and self-determination of the Minnesota Tribal Nations.

Voter Protection

The Maine Dems Voter Protection team is working to protect the vote and make sure that every voter’s voice is heard this November and we need your help! Please join us for a training to be a Poll Observer on election day.

Poll Observers are the eyes and ears on the ground at polling places across the state on election day. They assist voters and ensure that every eligible voter can cast a ballot. We will train, assign, and support you to make sure that you are as effective as possible on Election Day. Poll Observers serve in half day or full day shifts. This training will cover Maine election procedures, your role at the polling place, and the technology we use as Poll Observers.

Poll Observers must be physically present in Maine for their shift, but do not have to be Maine voters.

Upcoming Poll Observer Training: Wednesday, 10/16

Drive the Candidates

Did you know that a hugely helpful way to volunteer is to drive the candidates, so they can knock on as many doors as possible? Especially outside of Portland, this really maximizes candidates’ reach during a campaign. Use the links below to sign up by candidate for driving shifts here in Cumberland County. If you are interested in going further afield, please let us know as those shifts are especially hard to fill!

Canvass for Sen. Tim Nangle in Westbrook

Saturday, September 28, 10:30am–1:30pm or 1:30-4:30pm at Westbrook Community Center (426 Bridge St, Westbrook)

Join us to knock doors as we fight to protect our Democratic majority in Augusta! Sen. Tim Nangle’s seat is one of the most vulnerable in the state this cycle, and we need to talk to as many voters as possible to ensure they vote to re-elect him. Training will be provided.
