Who Are We?
Divest Maine is a multigenerational group of MainePERS beneficiaries, public employees, and advocates from Maine Climate Action Now, Maine Youth for Climate Justice, Sierra Club Maine Chapter, and Third Act Maine.
In 2021, we advocated for the successful passage of P.L. 2021 Chapter 231, An Act to Require the State to Divest Itself of Assets Invested in the Fossil Fuel Industry, and are now pushing MainePERS to implement the law. Now that the deadline to implement the law has passed, MainePERS is in noncompliance with our understanding of the law.
Divest Maine is a member of the Climate Safe Pensions Network.
Third Act Maine members rally in front of the MainePERS building in Augusta during a board meeting.
