Story intake
Tell me what people in Maine are running into
A serious platform should leave room for public records and lived experience at the same time.
If you choose to send something, I want the intake to be organized, factual, and useful - not performative.

Listening platform
A structured way to tell me what people in Maine are running into.
I do not want this campaign to pretend it already knows every version of the problem. If you want to help inform the public reform priorities on this site, use the categories below and keep it factual.
What I am asking people to flag
- court delay
- access interference
- enforcement issues
- housing instability
- documentation or records
- child impact
How I want this used
- Be factual.
- Do not post private details you do not want repeated.
- This is not legal advice.
- A response is not guaranteed.
- Stories may inform reform priorities and public understanding.
Use the structured template
Download the text template, fill it out, and send it to me through LinkedIn or the channel you already have.
