The State And Local Government Committee has stated that its intention is to vote 'ought not to pass' on LD 1383 unanimously, likely to prevent any political fallout should the bill go any further. This would effectively kill the bill despite mass support to stop sending our tax dollars to corporations arming genocide and collaborating with ICE.

Divestment from the very systems of violence that are wreaking havoc on the lives of our immigrant neighbors is necessary, not divisive. These corporations test their weapons and surveillance technologies in genocides abroad before bringing them home to violently oppress Maine residents, and the consensus is clear: enough is enough!
