A proposal for cutting a 145-mile corridor for a transmission line in western Maine that would bring hydropower from Quebec to Massachusetts, plus recent events related to failures by Central Maine Power make it a opportune time to discuss options for the future of power in Maine.

KCDC invites you to march with us!

Theme:  Lifelong Learning

Line up at 10:30 a.m.:  Enter Thomaston cemetery at Dwight St. (2nd right as you come in to Thomaston from Rockland--directly across from the Thomaston Academy building).  A volunteer there will tell you where the Knox County Dems will line up.

Be there earlier if you want to make a sign to carry.  We will have supplies (or bring your own sign as long as it's positive!).  Kids are really encouraged!  Decorated bikes are fun!  

Headquarters will be open and serving lemonade.  

Show our KCDC unity and pride by marching in one of our handsome new Knox County t-shirts!  Features our new Knox County Dems logo on the front and the slogan “Despair is not an option. Get involved!” on the back. Navy blue tee is 100% cotton.  Available for a $15 donation. Get your t-shirt by stopping by headquarters before the parade. 

This is our chance to show literally thousands of people who we are and what we stand for!!
