1 public place under threat in Maine
2 groups have them in their care
The defenders
2 groups are on the record for Maine, each tied to it by a source our editors read, in the order they carry the weight. The other one is likely to care: a guess from mission and footprint, with no source tying it to this fight. Give directly; nothing routes through us.
