PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • May 21, 2025
We must urge our state lawmakers to pass the Maine Climate Superfund Act. This measure will hold polluters accountable and ensure that Mainers are not left responsible for fixing a crisis they did not cause. Maine’s youth are leading the charge because we refuse to accept the status quo — one where we and our neighbors bear the environmental and financial burdens of a crisis created by fossil fuel corporations. Now is the time for bold, fair and necessary action. We cannot accept complicity. Our future depends on it. ~ Jackson Chadwick, Maine Youth for Climate Justice
