Their advice: “let your legislators know you’re here!” Done. The forty or so participants met with legislators, wrote letters, and took action to LD 962 and other bills.

The Women’s Leadership Action Coalition is a group of 20+ organizations advocating for women and girls. Among those represented today: Maine Centers for Women, Work, and Community, Maine Equal Justice, Maine Women’s Lobby and Maine Women’s Policy Center, Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, Maine Civil Liberties Union, Mabel Wadsworth Women’s Health Center, Business and Professional Women, AAUW, League of Women Voters, Maine Coalition Against Sexual Assault, and more!
