Women on Wednesday

Women on Wednesday (WOW) increases awareness of policy proposals and trains people to be effective advocates for women, girls, and gender-expansive people.

The program is designed to facilitate a sustained advocacy presence at the Louisiana State Capitol throughout the Legislative Session. Through these events, advocates learn about proposed legislation, its potential impacts, and ways to influence the legislative process.

During the legislative session, we lead groups of advocates at the State Capitol through a program that includes:

• Training on the legislative process
• Discussions of various topics related to current legislation
• Presentations by state legislators and government officials on policy priorities and the role of advocates in the process

Each week we will focus on a different issue impacting the lives of women, gender-diverse people, and families in our state.
