NCWU believes that all women and their families have the right to lead a healthy, happy life. Through our legislative agenda, we promote good public policies that support this value!

On Wednesday, April 1, 2009, women from across the state will gather at the Legislature in Raleigh to collectively promote the 2009 agenda. We hope that you will join us by pre-registering today!

Even if you can't be in Raleigh on April 1, you can participate in Women's Advocacy Day by sending an email to your legislator urging him or her to take action on the most pressing issues facing women and their families today.

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

I am writing as your constituent to urge you to support NC Women United's Legislative Agenda, which will be presented April 1, 2009 on Women's Advocacy Day.

The legislative agenda covers several different policy areas but I would ask that you give special consideration to these issues that are of particular concern to me...
