Maine Citizens for Clean Elections
Share
Through education and outreach, MCCE works in the public interest to increase public support for, defend, and improve the Maine Clean Election Act, the nation's first statewide public financing law, and other related campaign finance law. MCCE believes that a sound campaign finance system which puts people first is a key factor in Maine’s and the nation’s ability to tackle its most pressing problems and provide good government.
Money continues to pour into Maine's elections but one way to address that problem is to bridge the income inequality gap and tax the ultra-wealthy. That's why we're standing up for tax fairness. Tax fairness means those with more pay more, while those with less pay less. Asking wealthy individuals and corporations to pay their share is responsible and fair.

GOOD NEWS 🎉 — A District Court in Maryland has granted a preliminary injunction and ordered that the Trump administration must restore AmeriCorps funding to a broad coalition that sued over illegal cuts to grants. The lawsuit was filed by AmeriCorps grantees, sponsors, and service members, including Democracy Maine, a collaboration of the League of Women Voters of Maine Education Fund, Maine Citizens for Clean Elections, and Maine Students Vote.
“This ruling is a crucial victory for Mainers, for the rule of law, and for the principle of public service,” said Anna Kellar, Executive Director of Democracy Maine. “This injunction is a win in a continuing litigation process that underscores the importance of civic education work that is central to our mission.”
Democracy Maine filed suit in May with a broad coalition of nonprofit, nonpartisan organizations in federal court after being stripped of an AmeriCorps planning grant. Democracy Maine is one of several plaintiffs who joined the lawsuit to fight the unlawful blanket termination of AmeriCorps grants.
Democracy Maine was awarded a one-year grant from the federal government to develop civic education and engagement programs focused on rural counties where young people are especially disconnected from their communities and their government.
