Parole-4-Maine

A citizens collective advocating for the passage of LD178, which will bring back parole to Maine.

LD178 hits the senate floor tomorrow. We need everyone who supports this bill to call the Maine Senate TODAY.

Call 1-800-423-6900. Include: your name, your legislator’s name, your town+phone number, and specify that you’re calling in support of LD178. A-ok to leave a voicemail!

From @MainePublic: The last prisoner eligible under Maine's old parole system is granted it.

Think about the meaningful change we could create in Maine if those incarcerated after 1975 had the same opportunity for second chances: https://t.co/HkaoKYTxiN

Moving forward, it will be important to incorporate some of the recommendations put forward, but for now, let's take a moment to rest. Thank you! (3/3)

Yesterday was heavy. Exciting. Exhausting. Exhilarating. Yesterday was many things, but most of all, it was an outpouring of love, care, and concern for our community members. On the inside and the outside. (1/3)

[Parole-4-Maine @Parole4ME]

Our goal was to get 100 people to testify in favor of LD 178. Not only did we—YOU—blow past that goal, we more than doubled it!! Over 250 people submitted written testimony!!! Many waited hours to do so virtually or in-person. (2/3)

[Parole-4-Maine @Parole4ME]

2 days until the public hearing for LD 178!
