And if you do know an unemployed worker, will you take a bit of time to help them out? 5,200 Maine workers will lose unemployment aid on Jan. 1 unless Congress acts now! Please join us for a roundtable discussion about the importance of Unemployment Benefits. Afterwards, we will go to our Senators’ offices to ask for their support- without strings attached.
