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 L.D. 99, An Act to Require the State to Divest Itself of Assets Invested in the Fossil Fuel Industry, and are now pushing MainePERS to implement L.D. 99 by 2026, as the law requires.

Divest Maine is a member of the Climate Safe Pensions Network.
