Maine Women’s Lobby

Education Fund

The Maine Women’s Lobby Education Fund helps Maine people develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to engage in feminist, anti-oppression-based public policy advocacy and civic life.

Our programming focuses on community building and community-based data and policy analysis to increase knowledge, skills, and opportunities for citizens to engage in public policy change. Our programs include:

  • Publishing the biennial Roadmap for Gender Justice, which looks at the key trends and forces affecting gender equity - and the policy solutions that will drive real change to achieve equality.

  • Convening Maine’s Gender Justice Summit. The biennial Summit brings people together to address the most pressing issue impacting gender equity in the moment.  

  • Leadership development, like the annual Girls' Day at the Statehouse, which has been held every year since 1996!

  • Education, information, and connection. We gather community conversations to dream of a more feminist future for Maine people, and to help create the change to make those dreams a reality.

Our work would not be possible without the support of our sponsors and donors
