The Maine Coalition to End Domestic Violence works to end domestic abuse, dating abuse, stalking, elder abuse, and commercial sex trafficking. We were founded in 1977 by local domestic violence advocates working in communities across the state, who saw a need to have a unified voice in policy discussions in Augusta. For nearly 50 years, we have created change in how Mainers understand and respond to abuse... Today, we serve our network of ten members with training, technical assistance, and administrative support, helping them do the best work they can for abuse survivors. We provide support for state-level partners as they respond to abuse, create frameworks to inform the public's understanding about the issue and advocate in both the Maine legislature and in Washington D.C. for policies that will hold abusive people to account and keep survivors safe, particularly those most vulnerable.
