Activists continue to make their voices heard across the country and in the Midcoast since President Donald Trump’s inauguration one month ago.

In Brunswick, Midcoast Voices for Democracy will meet at the Unitarian Universalist Church on March 1 at 6 p.m. as part of the 10 Actions in the First 100 Days campaign.

Part of a national campaign organized by Women’s March on Washington founders, 10 Actions seeks to mobilize activists to take a new step every 10 days during the first 100 days of Trump’s administration.

The first action was for individuals to write postcards to their senators. The second encouraged citizens to join together groups of 10 or more to formulate goals.

The third action involves participating in a “hear our voice” event, where groups of citizens come together to engage elected officials at a public event, and is the purpose of the March 1 gathering, according to Debbie Atwood, a member of Midcoast Voices for Democracy and a former town councilor.

Midcoast Voices for Democracy was started in order to carry on the work of Unitarian Universalist Church of Brunswick minister Rev. Sylvia Stocker. “We wanted to continue momentum started by Rev. Stocker, who organized on Jan. 21 in Brunswick a vigil in solidarity with the Women’s March on Washington,” said Lynn Ellis, who co-chairs the church’s Working for Justice Committee.

Ellis explained how the church’s credo aligns with the rallies.

“(Unitarian Universalist Church’s) Fifth Principle affirms ‘the right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large.’ We embrace the opportunity to engage in an ongoing action to make a difference in our community and in our country through issue-oriented and respectful action,” she said.

For Atwood, political involvement is familiar territory.

“Holding elected officials accountable for their votes, demanding that they lead with a positive vision, is the job of every citizen in a democracy,” she wrote, “and the reality that 100 people chose to spend their Saturday afternoon working together to build a local movement is very encouraging. The momentum is building.”

The public is invited to attend the March 1 meeting at the church. For more information, email midcoastvoicesfordemocracy@gmail.com. To learn more about the “10 Actions in the First 100 Days” movement, visit www.womensmarch.com/hearourvoice.
