About the book
We started the Immigrant Solidarity Project as part of the community initiative that began with Dear Maine: The Trials and Triumphs of Maine's 21st Century Immigrants to support our increasingly diverse and multicultural region.
Whether by choice, by happenstance, or by the force of shifting geopolitics, Maine has become home to diverse people from all walks of life and around the globe. Now, amid changing political winds, immigrants face increased racism and discrimination, threats of deportation, and weakening support as organizations helping them confront funding cuts. Immigrants in public service work tirelessly on the frontlines to create and maintain freedom for themselves and their communities. This event will provide valuable insight into the work of these individuals as they use their positions to dismantle systemic racism, promote equality, and prioritize education. These immigrants have much to teach us about resilience, the meaning of freedom, and the value of democracy.
