Abstract

Overview of some of the proposals that will impact communities of color that the Maine Legislature will debating this session. Among the proposals are a bill that would increase access to drivers licenses for non-citizens; several pieces of legislation to help low-income people secure housing; and several bills to address racial justice, including one proposal for an advisory council to oversee the teaching African American studies in public schools, a bill to advance self-determination for Wabanaki nations, and a measure to provide farm workers with the same rights as other workers.
