    LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY - THE ACLU OF MAINE'S LEGISLATIVE ADVOCATES ARE AN EFFECTIVE PRESENCE IN AUGUSTA, WORKING TO PROTECT AND ADVANCE CIVIL LIBERTIES IN MAINE. DURING THE 131ST LEGISLATURE, WE SUPPORTED BILLS TO LIMIT HOW PRIVATE TECH COMPANIES COLLECT AND USE OUR ELECTRONIC DATA, EXPAND ABORTION ACCESS, ENSURE YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE ACCESS TO GENDER-AFFIRMING CARE, ENSURE THE RIGHT TO A SPEEDY TRIAL, AND STRENGTHEN THE STATE'S WABANAKI STUDIES AND AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDIES LAWS. WE OPPOSED BILLS THAT WOULD WORSEN MASS INCARCERATION, VIOLATE THE FIRST AMENDMENT IN SCHOOLS, MAKE IT HARDER TO EXERCISE THE RIGHT TO VOTE, AND DISCRIMINATE AGAINST NON-CITIZENS WISHING TO PURCHASE PROPERTY IN THE STATE.
