Breather

This week, the legislature takes a break that coincides with many of the school vacation weeks happening around our state. It's a much needed "breather" during what is already a very busy session! However, some committees have decided to meet and conduct public hearings during this week. We're gearing up to defend the bullying legislation we passed last session. Tomorrow, Oami will testify before the Education and Cultural Affairs Committee. And then there's next week. Next week, we will tackle bills having to do with the criminal justice system, drug overdose prevention and workplace rights for pregnant and nursing Maine women! No rest for the weary, though, it has been nice to be in the office together.  We'll keep you posted as things unfold! Thanks to all the readers who have responded to our calls to action already this session. Your voices are making a difference in Augusta. We couldn't do this work without you.

This week, the legislature takes a break that coincides with many of the school vacation weeks happening around our state. It's a much needed "breather" during what is already a very busy session!

However, some committees have decided to meet and conduct public hearings during this week. We're gearing up to defend the bullying legislation we passed last session. Tomorrow, Oami will testify before the Education and Cultural Affairs Committee.

And then there's next week. Next week, we will tackle bills having to do with the criminal justice system, drug overdose prevention and workplace rights for pregnant and nursing Maine women! No rest for the weary, though, it has been nice to be in the office together.

We'll keep you posted as things unfold! Thanks to all the readers who have responded to our calls to action already this session. Your voices are making a difference in Augusta. We couldn't do this work without you.
