Our Mission

Institutions like pension funds are bankrolling the climate crisis and disastrous fossil fuel projects. Divest Maine is a multigenerational group pushing Maine Public Employees Retirement System (MainePERS) to stop investing the hard earned savings of public employees in the fossil fuel industry. 

Who We Are

We are public employees, beneficiaries, youth, retirees, and environmental activists all fighting for climate justice and a livable future.

The fossil fuel industry is underperforming & pension funds are losing money. Learn more about pension funds & the financial case for divestment. Your commitment is crucial in our mission to divest MainePERS from harmful fossil fuel investments. Together, we can create a brighter tomorrow.

Despite the 2021 law directing MainePERS to divest from fossil fuels, MainePERS still has billions invested in fossil fuels.

MainePERS is invested in private equity firms backing projects like the Coastal GasLink Pipeline & Gen J.M. Gavin Coal Plant. Learn more about MainePERS’ Investments in Environmental Disasters.
