Hundreds of Apple-Grams Delivered to Maine Legislators

“An Apple a day doesn’t do the trick when I am at work and my children are sick!”

That’s the message that one MomsRising.org member sent to legislators on Tuesday on a specially wrapped Maine “Apple-Grams.” 

Moms converged on the 3rd floor of the Maine State House to deliver Apple-Grams in support of paid sick days. MomsRising.org members emailed the messages they wanted to send to legislators, and the Maine Women’s Lobby worked with moms to wrap and deliver them to legislators.
