Ability Maine
Ability Maine is a website created by people who are disabled and friends of the disability community in Maine. The mission of the site is to offer a place for collecting and sharing information and opinions about living with disabilities. Ability Maine aims to provide a place on the web for people with disabilities to find help in creating better lives for themselves and others, and also offers a community blog for people impacted by living with or loving people living with disabilities. Breath & Shadow, which is connected to the Ability Maine website, also offers a quarterly literary magazine written by people with disabilities.GeographiesMaine, USADatesNot indicatedSourceUser-generatedLiterature and writing,Community organizing,Communication mediaPeople with disabilities,People with diseases and illnesses,Persons with substance use disorder(s)––Action Library
The ROSC Action Library loans out direct action items to individual activists, and small, low-budget, grassroots groups and nonprofits who wish to engage in nonviolent direct action and/or civil disobedience. We offer these items on a first-come, first-serve basis for intervals of up to two weeks at a time. If items are needed for longer than 2 weeks, we ask that you check in to see about “renewing” the loan. This will help us keep track of items, and will help us keep them in hand to loan out as often as possible. This project is modeled on a sharing economy, and so there is no charge for borrowing these items, though if you feel compelled to support our work with a donation, that’s totally cool with us! ***NOTE: While our number of people served is a general 1,000, we want it to be clear that we will never truly know the impact it's had. Its taken down barriers for community action and has been brought to rallies with more people we could ever know.GeographiesMaine, USADatesNot indicatedSourceUser-generatedCommunity organizingActivists1K$0Changing Maine Directory

Each listing in the CMD includes detailed descriptions and the most up-to-date contact information for over 1,500 non-profit, grassroots, progressive, social change and social service organizations working throughout Maine, some of which can be found in no other place. Previously called the Maine Alternative Yellow & Green Pages, since 1986 ROSC has continuously worked to keep this directory’s entries current, accurate and relevant to help empower folx looking to create positive, meaningful social change.
