Overview
Women's Advocacy Day 2006 was a huge success, bringing women from across the
state to Raleigh to lobby on issues that impact women's lives.
Over 100 activists participated in the day's events, which included an advocacy
training, press conference, and meetings with legislators. Many elected officials
attended and some spoke on our behalf, including Lt Governor Beverly Perdue.
Highlighted issues included the Women's Health Services Fund, increasing the
minimum wage, funding for sexual assault services, and ensuring education access
for minorities.
NC Women United's 2006 Advocacy Day was Tuesday, June 20.
