Join Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition and Maine Climate Action Now for ‘Warming Welcome: Stories of Climate Migration and Growing Solidarity in Maine’.

This webinar will share New Mainers’ stories, and provide opportunities for acts of solidarity between climate and immigrant movements in Maine.

This event is part of Welcoming Week, an annual campaign and celebration of communities striving to be more welcoming places for all. More people than ever are on the move, displaced by climate and conflict and seeking opportunity and mobility. As climate migration reshapes communities, many places are unprepared and underinvested in the work needed to create welcoming infrastructure, and they’re unsure of where to start. Welcoming Week invites communities to take the first step toward creating an environment where everyone can truly thrive. In many ways, the initiative is an opportunity for communities to cultivate the awareness and energy that’s needed to sustain year-long welcoming efforts.

This year’s Welcoming Week theme is ‘Stories We Share: The Courage to Connect’. We are excited to bring a discussion to communities and movements here in Maine! 🌍

While clergy are typically not eligible to file an ERPO petition with the court, they can play...
