The Passamaquoddy Tribe at Sipayik will hold a Sipayik Rally for Clean Drinking Water in Augusta on April 11th.
Sign in at 8 am. After receiving an update from Passamaquoddy leaders, a rally outside the State House and a news conference will be held. Following the rally, return to the State House and engage legislators on LD 906 An Act to Provide Passamaquoddy Tribal Members Access to Clean Water and LDs 1626 An Act Implementing the Recommendations of the Task Force on Changes to the Maine Indian Claims Settlement Implementing Act.
Please plan to come to Augusta. Your presence will make a difference. Wabanaki leaders ask that you wear a mask while indoors, and they encourage mask use outdoors in crowded situations when social distancing is not practical.
Access to clean, safe drinking water is a human right recognized by the United Nations. Let’s ensure the residents of Sipayik and Eastport have clean drinking water.
