“I am proud to be including MPRC in my will. I've been fed by MPRC, physically and spiritually, far in excess of what I will pledge upon my departure. MPRC and its leaders and volunteers give me much hope for the future of Maine and I look forward to helping MPRC for years to come.”Rafael Macias
MPRC Supporter from Topsham
“MPRC has played a huge role in my life and it is extremely important to me that the organization continues into the future. That is why I am including MPRC in my estate planning. So many of MPRC’s campaigns are important to me. MPRC has proven time and time again that everyday people can fight together with the drive and commitment it takes to see initiatives through to the end and win.”Tim Conmee

“I have been a proud MPRC member for many years because we stand up for all the people. MPRC is an effective organization, and we know how to win campaigns for social justice. But for me, the most important part of MPRC is the way the organization has supported me as a transgender person. I’m making a legacy gift because being part of MPRC is more than working with a team, it’s like being part of a family.”Davida Ammerman
