Maine Climate Action NOW!
Boldly building Maine's
climate movement!
Â
Â
MISSION
MCAN catalyzes transformative action in response to the climate and ecological emergency. Through advocacy, education and grassroots organizing, we seek to honor, unite and amplify the voices of youth, frontline communities, and others historically excluded from the climate conversation and positions of power.
​
We hold social, racial, and economic justice as critical to the transition to zero carbon emissions by 2030, and demand the equitable implementation of clean renewable energy, ecological land-use practices, and bold community-led action for a more resilient Maine.
