“Connect Portland” - Bridging the Divide is a volunteer grassroots effort to encourage open non-partisan and respectful dialogue through the civil exchange of ideas, accessible to all members of our diverse community, working together toward a Portland Maine that is authentic, inclusive and dynamic.

About Us

Connect Portland was formed in 2020 by a volunteer, citizen group to ensure transparency, accountability and inclusively in the Charter Commission process by providing regular updates on the Charter process.

By all accounts, our efforts were well-received and very successful in keeping the public informed about the Commission's work and their final recommendations which ultimately went out to voters.

In order to provide ongoing connectivity with the public on matters of the city interest, Connect Portland will continue to provide regular updates on the work of the city council and council committees.

Disclaimer: We are not a PAC, political committee or affilitated with any political action group or specific organization.
