2025 Achievements<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

At Maine People\u2019s Alliance, we believe in a world where everyone has what they need and contributes what they can, and no one is left behind.<\/h3>\n

In 2025, we made some exciting leaps toward this vision. This year, MPA members worked to win so many things: progressive tax fairness bills, making sure that the state budget protected funding for childcare, statewide protections for residents of mobile home communities, defeating a voter suppression ballot initiative, protecting our paid family and medical leave program from legislative attacks, and more! We also fought against Trump\u2019s federal budget cuts, the Republican-led federal shutdown, and attacks on affordable healthcare. We continued to hold Sen. Susan Collins accountable while also protecting the rights of people who\u2019ve moved to Maine from other countries.<\/p><\/div>
