Incredible news! Maine's House has passed LD227, a bill that will make Maine a transgender sanctuary state as well as a sanctuary state for abortion patients and providers. This is despite bomb threats after far right activists like LOTT and Riley Gaines targeted legislators.
The bill will now go to the Senate, where legislators will face similar threats. If you are in Maine, contact your senators at this website to tell them your thoughts on the bill. myreps.datamade.us
@ErinInTheMorn Don't be celebrating Maine. It approves Apartheid for Americans. thefreelancenews.org/home/apartheid…
@ErinInTheMorn Yay!! Now let's get NH back in the Human Rights fold & New England can be a sanctuary region!!
@ErinInTheMorn Fantastic to know! Thank you so much for all you do.
@ErinInTheMorn Maine doesn't always do things right, but when it does it fucks hard and makes this backwater under-urbanized pine tree preserve worth staying in. This is one of those moments that makes Maine good from time to time. Now if only there was more to do here than nature walks.
@ErinInTheMorn very good news!
