Join us.MaineCanDo.org is a compilation of resources designed for Mainers who want more from the places they work, shop, play and eat in a post #MeToo era. Employers will find tools like human resource policies, resources, and checklists to make practical and sustainable change easy - even if they don't have the benefit of a human resources department. Individuals who have been harassed (and those who support them) will find practical advice and connections to trained advocates who can help navigate next steps. Anyone who wants to be a part of the change can participate in our pledge to foster and sustain respectful and harassment free workplaces.

Our GoalTwo decades ago, Tarana Burke began the MeToo movement to raise awareness of the pervasiveness of sexual abuse and assault in society and the workplace. In 2017, the hashtag #MeToo entered our everyday vernacular. Now, reports featuring politicians, actors, coaches, priests, philanthropists, investors and business people make the daily news. And here in Maine, we are not immune to it.
MaineCanDo.org is practical response to the concerns we have heard, designed to help individuals and organizations become more aware, proactive, and responsible for the cultures we create. |
Your RoleWe believe that the people of Maine deserve safe, respectful, and inclusive places to work, shop, eat, and play.
Each of us (employee, patron, employer, investor, or board member) has a role to play to ensure that our culture is harassment free. We can each help to deter sexual harassment. Use our tools, speak up, and take action...#YouCanDo! Have a suggestion? Want to get more deeply involved? Contact us! |
