Taking place on Constitution Day, Tuesday, September 17th, at 4 PM at Talbot Lecture Hall at the University of Southern Maine.

Everyone should be equal under the law. Still, many of our systems were built without many of our community members in mind. Women, trans people, those with disabilities, people of color, and other historically excluded communities experience deep-rooted inequalities in our state and country, and neither the United State’s or Maine’s Constitutions protect people from discrimination based on their identities. An “Equal Rights Amendment” can enshrine protections into our founding documents, and reaffirm our State’s commitment to the equality of all people.

Join us for a 3 part Lunch & Learn webinar series to explore the need for an “Inclusive Equal Right Amendment” in Maine’s constitution to achieve true equality for all! Click here to register today!

• Session 3: Wednesday August 28th 12-1pm ET
