We have had a table at the Common Ground Fair in Unity for about five years. Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade, many new people joined the chapter at the fair, and donations increased as well. It’s as though the Supreme Court gave us a gift but at the expense of denying women their constitutional right to choose. Well over 60% of Americans were outraged at the court’s edict and the increase in chapter membership and donations reflect that outrage.
You are invited to talk with friendly, supportive people concerned about the social and political turmoil the country is in. Those who do not support the separation of church and state tend not to stop at our table.
The fair offers something for everyone from activities centered around sustainable living, entertainment, and keynote speakers to activities for children. The fair is always held the third weekend in September. We offer volunteers a complementary full-day pass to the entire fair (a $20 value). We ask volunteers for a three-hour shift; 9 to 12, 12 to 3, or 3 to 6. The rest of the day is yours to explore and enjoy all the fair has to offer.
Email Tom at vice.president.tw@ffrfmaine.org or call/text me at 207-344-7852 to let me know which shift works for you.
Thank you,
Tom
