Changing “Maine” Gatherings

Changing “Maine” Gatherings are an annual, short and sweet one-day series of talks and workshops for grassroots activists. These gatherings have been happening in what is known as “Maine” for over two decades and are a great place for activists and organizers to plug into ongoing campaigns and to network with others working for social change. Every year offers a different theme.

Past themes include:
-Local Organizing Against Corporate/Industrial Projects
-Centering Anti-Racism in Our Movements
-Beyond Capitalism: New, Local Economies for “Maine”
…and more!

**Please note that we’ve placed quotations around the name “Maine” because that is the colonial name given to the land we do our work on, which is unceded Wabanaki territory. European settlers have violently colonized this continent for hundreds of years, while the labor of Black people was forced and exploited to build the wealth of white families for generations. The work ROSC does is rooted in collective liberation, and we recognize that there is power in language. This land is unceded Wabanaki territory, colonially known as “Maine.”
