Programs

  • Civic Engagement and Advocacy Education

    OUTREACH AND EDUCATION: THROUGH COMMUNITY EDUCATION, PUBLIC BILL TRACKING, ACTION ALERTS AND ACTION HOURS, AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR ACTIVISM, WE DEVELOP PROGRAMS TO HELP MAINERS UNDERSTAND THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS, UNDERSTAND SPECIFIC PIECES OF LEGISLATION, AND GIVE THEM TOOLS AND ACCESS TO ENGAGE AS CITIZEN ADVOCATES ON THE ISSUES THAT MATTER TO THEM. IN 2023, WE HOSTED A MONTHLY 'ADVOCACY COHORT' WHICH WORKED WITH A COHORT OF ACTIVISTS TO LEARN HOW TO TRACK BILLS AND BUILD THEIR SKILLS TO TAKE ACTION. WE ALSO HOSTED A 'GENDER JUSTICE DAY' AT THE STATE HOUSE WHICH FEATURED GENDER JUSTICE PARTNERS FROM ACROSS THE STATE TO SHARE THEIR WORK DIRECTLY WITH LEGISLATORS.
