Overview
Since 1988, advocates in North Carolina have banded together in each even year
to share information on public policy issues apt to come before the next session
of the General Assembly. Their efforts have resulted in a "Draft
Women's Agenda" published in late summer as an educational tool.
These issues are then discussed at "Women's Agenda Assemblies" across
the state, and the participants in those discussions are invited to share
their conclusions at Women's Advocacy Day during the Legislature's long session.
2006 Resources
- Additional resources
- The Agenda Assemblies across the state have shared their tips and tools for hosting
a successful event and getting leverage from it.
- Summary
of the Draft Agenda
- This two page "cheat sheet" may be useful for those who haven't had time
to absorb all of the papers from the Draft Agenda.
- Draft Women's Agenda
- This collection of fourteen issue papers is the discussion document that
will be used at the Agenda Assemblies. While attendees are welcome to bring
up other issues in the discussion, all are encouraged to read this document
carefully for background information.
[The current version is 9/12/06. The only change from the current 10/30 version
is in the last page where the NCWU address appears: it should be Raleigh, not
Elon. None of the papers have changed.]
