Love and Marriage
In: Alliance for a Clean and Healthy Maine|BPA|Charlotte Warren|Marriage Equality
9 Feb 2011I’ve got two things for you today: a Valentine’s Day hearing at the State House and a heart-warming new marriage equality project. Have a heart for Maine children – attend the hearing on L.D. 1 on Valentine’s Day. Governor Paul LePage has released a set of proposed regulatory roll-backs that would eliminate or dramatically weaken [...]

Governor LePage has now chosen his appointees to head seven of the 15 state departments—and, so far, none of them are women. “Not only does a healthy democracy require diversity in order to be truly representative, but solving the tough problems that Maine currently faces will require leadership, experience, wisdom, and drawing upon all of [...]
Your support matters to women in Maine. That’s why I’m writing one more time to urge your year-end gift today. It matters if you or someone you know has taken time off from work to care for yourself, a family member, or a newborn under Maine’s Family Medical Leave Law. Our work made Maine the [...]

Simple
In: Charlotte Warren|Maine Women's Lobby|Maine Women's Policy Center
29 Dec 2010Well, here we are – just a few days before the end of the year and a week before the new legislature convenes. It’s tough to predict what we’ll see during this session. But, if the debate – and promises – we heard during this past campaign cycle are any indication, there will be some [...]

Our Wish for you…
In: Charlotte Warren
28 Dec 2010Read below for a holiday message from our Associate Director, Charlotte Warren. Seasons Greetings, Supporter. It’s the time of year for wishes and resolutions. So, I thought I’d share with you what we’re wishing for here at the Maine Women’s Lobby: 1. Moderation. Maine’s newly elected leaders were swept into office on a tidal wave [...]

Impact
In: Charlotte Warren
16 Dec 2010Impact … you’ve got it, and you showed it. We make a powerful team – you, me, and the 6,000 other Mainers who receive these alerts. We kept working women’s voices front and center. And, we’ll do it again. A couple of weeks ago, we learned that the newly elected Republican legislative leadership was planning [...]

And, the beat goes on…

8 Dec 2010Last week, we reported that the new legislative leadership was planning to eliminate the Labor Committee. We also reported that due to lots of resistance to the idea, they’ve put the decision on hold for a bit so that it can be a thoughtfully made decision – with input from Maine citizens. The Labor Committee [...]

phew … that was close
2 Dec 2010Thanks to your calls, Facebook status updates, and tweets, the Labor Committee still exists today. Together, we put the pressure on the new legislative leadership to slow down and allow a thoughtful, inclusive process concerning their original plan to eliminate the Labor Committee on the opening day of session. But, we’re not done. And, we [...]
Day One at the State House: Eliminate…
In: Charlotte Warren|Labor|Maine State House|Maine Women's Lobby
30 Nov 2010The new Maine Legislature meets for the first time tomorrow. And, the first order of business of Maine’s new legislative leadership may be to eliminate the Labor Committee – the committee that serves the needs of women workers. The Labor Committee has existed in the Maine Legislature continuously since 1887 (yes, that’s right – over [...]

Diri-gone?
15 Nov 2010Last week, the morning after the election, I made a commitment to you. (You can read it – along with all of the year’s messages – here). I said that together we’ll work to be sure the new Governor and legislature preserve critical protections for Maine women and tackle the challenges that face Maine families. [...]
