Welcome to the Maine Unitarian Universalist
​State Advocacy Network (MUUSAN)

"We'll meet again
don't know where, don't know when 
but I know we'll meet again some sunny day. 
Keep smiling through
just like you always do
'til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away." 
Song written by Ross Parker and Hughie Charles

Dear Friends,
 
We hope you and your families are healthy and safe during these trying times. At MUUSAN, we are following the Maine CDC guidelines of social distancing. All of our volunteers are working from home and meetings are being held virtually. If you need us, you can reach us by email at admin@muusan.org.

We understand that many UU Churches in Maine are streaming their Sunday services. Check the websites of your preferred congregation and sign up for on-line worship. It is important that we find ways to stay connected while we are staying safe. You can find information about Maine's congregations at: https://www.uua.org/find/results?state=ME.
 
Please visit the MUUSAN webpage at muusan.org or our Facebook page to stay up to date until we can meet again in person.

Trudy Ferland and Julia Fitz-Randolph 
Co-Chairs

A statewide advocacy and public policy network anchored in our Unitarian Universalist faith and animated by its principles, MUUSAN welcomes as partners and collaborators all those who share our values.  We link our 25 Maine congregations and many friends in an active legislative ministry.

Unitarian Universalism calls us to change oppressive policies and structures to those that promote human development, protect the environment, and support communities. Our mission is to educate and to organize for a more just society. 

Our primary issues:
  • Democracy in Action, including efforts to strengthen our democracy by informing and engaging voters, protecting voting rights, promoting civil discourse, instituting Ranked-Choice Voting, supporting Clean Election laws and reducing the importance of money in campaigns.
  • Health Care, including advocacy for universal health care, monitoring legislation that affects our healthcare system, and promoting public health interventions.
  • Climate Change, including support for fossil energy conservation, development of solar and other renewable sources, and educating legislators and the public about the urgent call to slow climate change (with special attention to our own precious Gulf of Maine).
  • Racial, Native and Immigrant Justice, addressing systemic oppression by advocating with and on behalf of racial, ethnic and indigenous populations and responding to the need to interrupt disparities in Maine's legal and economic systems.  

The designer of our MUUSAN logo, a green State of Maine as a lit chalice, is Jenny Mckendry.
