Stein will appear on the ballots of dozens of states throughout the country, including Maine. She previously ran for president in 2012, when she received about 1% of the votes in Maine, and 2016, when she garnered nearly 2%, according to by the Federal Elections Commission.

The panel will take place from 6-7 p.m. on Oct. 7 – one year after the Hamas militant group attacked Israel, which triggered Israel’s monthslong retaliatory war in Gaza, Stein’s campaign said in a statement Tuesday afternoon. Stein has repeatedly called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and has described Israel’s actions in Gaza a “genocide.”

“The discussion will focus on the collective liberation of the oppressed, Stein’s and the Green Party’s agenda for people, planet, and peace, and how ranked choice voting (RCV) is a vital tool in those efforts,” the campaign said in a news release.

The panel, which is free and open to the public, will be held at Hannaford Hall, 88 Bedford St.

Doors open at 5 p.m., and early visitors will have a chance to connect with members of local organizations, including Maine Voices for Palestinian Rights and the Cumberland County Green Party, said Sam Pfeifle, co-press director for the campaign.
