About this Event

2025 ushered in a new political era, rapidly changing the role and function of the U.S. government, its impacts rippling across public and private institutions touching nearly all facets of public life. What lessons can we take away from the 2025 elections in cultivating political alternatives at the local and state levels? How has the government shutdown changed attitudes about how the Federal government cares for its most vulnerable? Join us for an engaging conversation with diverse political thought-leaders to process the past year of national and state politics and what it means for 2026 in Maine. 

Presenters: Jenna Vendil, Associate Director of Democratic Engagement and Student Activism; Jan Kosinski, Government Relations Director of the Maine Education Association, XXX

Sponsor: Harward Center for Community Partnerships
