Whether you’re a parent or grandparent, a teacher or community leader, or simply a citizen who cares about the future of our country (and our world), it’s *so* important that we not only recognize and celebrate the service and sacrifice of young people, but encourage and amplify it.

There are many, many more stories where these came from. Stories of compassion and creativity. Stories of empowerment and community engagement. Stories that highlight the spirit of leadership and resourcefulness that Maine is known for—and that our kids and grandkids have clearly inherited.
Then there’s Maine’s 2024 recipient of the John Lewis Youth Leadership Award Rosalyn O’Reilly who:
Founded her school’s Civil Rights Team
Serves on a prominent international peace education organization
Participates in a number of food-security initiatives in Maine
Talk about an incredible resume!
In 2019, after reading studies about the impacts of low self esteem in students, two middle-school sisters created inspirational paintings to hang in the girls restroom—featuring messages like, “You’re beautiful.”
Four years later, both were awarded scholarships for their community service.
Or the 2nd-grader in Caribou who felt so bad about a fellow classmate having holes in their shoes that—with the help of her parents, teachers, community advocates, and other students—she started her own shoe drive.
Laney’s Sole Purpose has become a beacon in the community.
Like the 12-year-old boy from Portland who dedicates time every week picking up trash in his neighborhood with his red wagon.
He’s also a fixture at MaineWorks—an agency committed to helping people in recovery find employment—where he’s become a source of inspiration.
As a grandparent, I worry about the future, and the kind of world my grandkids will inherit.
Climate change, gun violence, political turmoil—there are so many crises that demand action.
I believe a better future is possible. Oftentimes, it’s the kids who are working to build it.🧵
#DirigoStories
Congress cannot stand by while one man attempts to seize control over our national story. I stand in full support of my colleagues on the Committee on House Administration, who are working to introduce legislation to ensure this position is appointed by Congress—not at the whim of any one president.
The firing of Dr. Carla Hayden as Librarian of Congress is a blatant act of political retribution, aimed at transforming one of our most respected institutions into a propaganda machine.
This heavy-handed political interference sends a chilling message: bend to the President’s will, or be removed.
🚨UPDATE🚨: I'm so relieved to hear that DOJ has agreed to give the Maine Resiliency Center the funding they deserve.
Shoutout to @bangordailynews.bsky.social for covering this story yesterday. Their reporting—and the public pressure it created—seems to have really made a difference.
This is just one of countless grants the DOJ is refusing to award. The Administration is failing communities that are counting on these critical resources.
I will do all I can to help ensure MRC and the people of Lewiston get the funding they deserve—so their community can continue to heal. (4/4)
During a hearing in Augusta on state funding for MRC, State Rep. Peggy Rotundo shared some powerful examples of how MRC has supported people in the community.
Like the 7-year-old who was there the night of the shooting and “still struggles with the sound of classmates popping bags of chips.” (3/4)
Back in February, MRC applied for a federal grant to help it continue this critical work. It normally takes a few weeks to receive a response.
The Trump Administration still hasn’t responded.
Without this federal grant, MRC will only have enough money to cover 3 more months of expenses. (2/4)
October 25, 2023 was a day of unspeakable tragedy here in Maine.
For many in the Lewiston-Auburn community, the trauma will never fully subside. That’s what makes organizations like the Maine Resiliency Center so important. They’re not just providing support; they’re helping people heal. (1/4)

The U.S.-Canada relationship is vital to Maine. They’re our biggest trading partner. Their tourists help fuel our economy. They're our friends.
That’s what makes yesterday’s meeting so infuriating. The President treats diplomacy like a lark—and our closest ally like a piece on a chess board.
I implore the Israeli cabinet to set aside its internal politics so the remaining hostages can be brought home, for the wellbeing of Palestinian civilians, and to end these isolationist policies that harm hostages and jeopardize the future of Israel. (6/6)
Using humanitarian aid as a bargaining tool is a flat-out violation of the law. Such tactics play into the hands of terrorists, who use these actions as anti-Israel and US propaganda across the Middle East to recruit and reinvigorate groups like Hezbollah, ISIS, and Iranian-backed Militias. (5/6)
