Legislative Advocacy Opportunities

Planned Parenthood Day at the Statehouse: On April 7 from 9 am to noon, we will lobby our legislators at the State House to defeat bills that threaten the safety and privacy of Maine women. We will fight against any rollbacks to access preventative, lifesaving health care.  Rides to Augusta and childcare will be offered to those who need it.


Girls' Day at the State House - Thursday, March 24th at 8am, Augusta: The Maine Women's Policy Center is sponsoring the 15th Annual "Girls' Day at the State House" next Thursday, March 24th, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Girls' Day brings together 100 8th grade girls from across the state to learn about the legislative process first-hand and to encourage them to have a voice in the issues they care about. The girls will participate in a mock public hearing and mock press conference, a State House and Legislative “scavenger hunt,” and meet with the Governor and other legislative leaders.


Alliance for Clean and Healthy Maine Lobby Day - Thursday, April 14th at 8:30am, Augusta: We know that Maine can grow healthy kids and a healthy economy. We know that with safer chemicals, Maine’s families and businesses will thrive. Our legislators need to know this, too. And they need to hear it from you. Join Planned Parenthood of Northern New England  and the Alliance for Clean and Healthy Maine as we advocate for legislation that will get toxic chemicals out of the products we buy and use on a daily basis. If you can attend, please contact PPNNE Grassroots Organizer, Jenna Vendil.
