Description: More than 100 first year students at Maine College of Art have participated in a unique freshman
experience that has resulted in an exhibition called “Food, Hunger, Justice.” As part of a new
curriculum called FY-In that has a service learning component, students have spent their first
semester researching the food crisis in Maine. In response, they have volunteered on local farms,
created artwork and will use the proceeds from art sales to provide food for low-income senior
citizens in Portland.
Students partnered with Cultivating Community to visit their urban and suburban farms: Turkey
Hill Farm, Boyd Street Urban Farm and Oxford Street garden. During these visits, students
harvested food, put gardens to bed, moved rocks and assisted with farm chores.

Description: “Those who do not know the past are doomed to repeat it.” – George Santayana
Join community members in Monument Square this Thursday, November 20, at 6 pm for a candlighting and vigil to honor individuals murdered by transgender hate and killed by transgender prejudice.
The Transgender Day of Remembrance was set aside to memorialize those who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. The event is held in November to honor Rita Hester, whose murder on November 28th, 1998 kicked off the “Remembering Our Dead” web project and a San Francisco candlelight vigil in 1999. Rita Hester’s murder — like most anti-transgender murder cases — has yet to be solved.
