About

Midcoast Solidarity is a group of people striving to organize to build a socialist future within Midcoast Maine. We define that region as stretching along the coast of Penobscot Bay from the mouth of the Passagassawakeag river, south to the Androscoggin river (enveloped by the settlements known as Belfast and Brunswick), and inland to I95.

Our Mission

Our mission is to develop socialist parallel power in Midcoast Maine/Wabanaki Territory communities to replace capitalist systems through education, advocacy, and organization.

Our Values

We value life over profit. The practices and ideologies of capitalism, coloniality, racism, and bigotry infringe upon the agency of individuals, groups, and marginalized identities. Midcoast Solidarity strives to separate our survival needs from these oppressive systems.

Solidarity

As a core principle, we agree to build solidarity with our fellow Midcoast Solidarity members, local community, and other organizations in our geographical area working towards liberation, because none of us are free until all of us are free.

Organization

Our organization makes decisions using consent-based processes and is divided into smaller groups called circles that take on specific tasks.
