RECORD STUDENT CLUBBER …
Chloe Maxmin is another example to make you wonder why you have only recently begun to hear of teen and twen changemakers in the media you are using. It appears more and more ridiculous.
FULL STORY
“We are going to change how people look at this dirty industry, at climate change, and their own role in it.”
Chloe Maxmin
Divest Harvard is not the first campus that has risen for divestment. But it has become the most visible, for its size, the scope actions, the level of escalation, the media presence – all of which are a result of the genius, razor sharp messaging that activated people’s Hearts, propelled DH onto the New York Times frontpage, and Chloe into talkshows.
Students on 300 university campuses have joined the divestment movement. 350.org has taken the movement global. Colleges, churches, investment and pension funds have joined in.

Updates from Chloe
Hello from Augusta! We’re more than halfway through the legislative session, and there is a lot to report.
Dozens of bills have made it through committee and to the House floor. More than 40 of those bills have made it all the way to Gov. Janet Mills’ desk and have been signed into law. You can view the full list here.
On Tuesday, I presented my bill An Act To Establish a Green New Deal for Maine, which emerged directly from conversations with constituents and reflects the urgent need for economic renewal in our rural counties. We were joined by representatives from the labor community, students, business owners, and others who spoke about the need for good jobs, lower property taxes, and protecting our environment, upon which so much of Maine’s industry and culture depends.
Another update on my bills for District 88: LD 1142, which would expand direct transportation access for seniors and adults with disabilities, has been carried over until next session. The Health and Human Services Committee needed more information from the Department of Health and Human Services and transportation providers. That information will be gathered, and we’ll take up the bill in 2020.
Lastly, I submitted my last piece of legislation this week: a Resolution calling on Congress to reform the Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset. This is a major issue that I heard from you on the campaign trail. The only thing that we can do at the State level is to pass a Resolution urging federal action. This resolution has received bipartisan co-sponsorship in the House and Senate.
The legislature has changed the way that citizens submit written testimony.
If you would like to submit testimony on the bill and were unable to attend the public hearing, you still can!
While we’ve made a lot of progress, we still have plenty of bills left to debate. Pretty soon we’ll be wrapping up committee work and adding more days of session in hopes of passing as much good legislation as we can. That means there’s still a lot of time left to hear what you want and need from me. Please reach out with any ideas or feedback you have.
All the best, Chloe Maxmin

Stop by for a cup of coffee and to talk about issues that you’re facing, an update on what’s happening in Augusta, and to address any other questions that you have.

50Now – for those of you disgusted by the political #fails, their appaling #incompetence, the hack of democracy, the hostile take-over by people of an ugly totalitarian violent mindset of the 1930s …

It’s simple. But you don’t find this mindset among conventional politicians. So – whatever age you are, whatever names and terms you know or don’t know. You will understand the principle.
So, make this the first time of your life of reading on 21st Century political strategy. This is a Gryffindore tale.
