#CommunityVoicesForChange - Maine Women's Lobby

30 mins - First Aired February 23, 2026 on #WMPG-FM
Host: Richard Rudolph

"The podcast for February 23, 2026 is an interview of Destie Hoffman Sprague who is the Executive Director of the Maine's Women Lobby. The show focused on a referendum question that will be on the Maine ballot this coming fall which would restrict transgender students’ access to school sports and facilities. Destie first talked about why the League is involved in this issue and why it has joined a coalition to defeat the proposal. The coalition contends the referendum will increase bullying and harassment, cost schools millions in potential ligation and undermine public education. According to Destie the referendum is spearheaded by the group Protect Girls Support in Maine which seeks to mandate sports by sex, requiring public school students to play on sports teams based on the sex listed on their birth certificates. Destie believes the effort to restrict transgender students from playing sports in Maine is primarily driven by the Trump Administration which has threatened to pull federal education funding if the state does not ban transgender girls from female sports. Maine's Governor, Janet Mills, Attorney General Aaron Frey, and the Maine Principals’ Association are opposed. In closing, Destie encouraged listeners to get involved in the fight to defeat this measure. which would undermine Maine's existing #HumanRightsAct which protects #GenderIdentity."

"Concerned at the UK Government’s intentions to review the #HumanRights framework and #JudicialReview we have come together to state:

While every system could be improved, and protecting #rights and #freedoms for all is a balancing act, our #HumanRightsAct is a proportionate and well-drafted protection for the fundamental #liberties and #responsibilities of everyone in this country.

The Act guarantees the rights to #FreeSpeech and expression, to life, to #liberty, to security, to privacy, to assembly, and to #FreedomOfReligion or belief. It prohibits torture and guarantees fair trials and the #RuleOfLaw.

Judicial review is an indispensable mechanism for individuals to assert those rights and freedoms against the power of the state." https://humanrightsact.org.uk/

#Maine is standing firm on #HumanRights!

The Maine Human Rights Act Guarantees...

Equal Employment Rights

- The RIGHT to freedom from discrimination in employment.
- The opportunity for an individual to secure employment without discrimination… is declared to be a CIVIL RIGHT.

The #MaineHumanRightsAct prohibits discrimination because of race, color, sex, #SexualOrientation, age, physical or mental disability, genetic pre-disposition, religion, ancestry or national origin.

The Maine Human Rights Act also prohibits discrimination because of filing a claim or asserting a right under the Worker’s Comp Act or retaliation under the Whistleblower’s Act.

Unlawful Employment Discrimination

- For any employer to fail or refuse to hire an applicant
- For any employer to discharge an employee
- For any employer to discriminate against an employee with respect to recruitment, tenure, promotion, transfer, or compensation
- For any employment agency to fail or refuse to classify properly or refer for employment an applicant
- For any labor organization to exclude from apprenticeship or membership an applicant
- For any employer, employment agency, or labor organization prior to employment or admission to membership of an individual to ask questions, keep as record, use application form, issue any notice, employ a quota system
- For any employer, employment agency, or labor organization to retaliate against a person who has opposed a violation of the Maine #HumanRightsAct because of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, age, physical or mental disability, genetic pre-disposition, religion, ancestry or national origin or because of asserting a claim under the Worker’s Comp Act or Whistleblower’s Act."

"Our domestic courts will no longer be able to use any domestic or international law - including the #HumanRightsAct - to stop us removing illegal migrants"
"We're completely disapplying all the relevant sections of the Human Rights Act"

- #RishiSunak

It's impossible to dismiss the #UKGovernment's immorality and breaking of international #law and conventions.

Let this speech never be forgotten.

He’s talking a big game, but I doubt he’ll do it—he’s going to be out on his arse in a puddle outside No. 10 before he gets the chance.

ORG and civil liberties groups have used the Human Rights Act to successfully challenge the UK government over bulk surveillance.

It's a vital piece of legislation and we call on the British public to reject Braverman's attack on all of our rights.

Suella Braverman's claim that the Human Rights Act (UK) is only good for criminals is an act of malign misdirection.

Politicians who attack human rights want to remove safeguards that protect us all from government and corporate abuses of power.

To give them free rein over our lives.

#LeighFinke led #expansion of #transgender #rights in #Minnesota, and endured #nonstop #attacks.

With the #HumanRightsAct staying, I'm almost tempted to look at Facebook to see my boomer family members and their friends weeping and wailing.

They'd all been looking forward to *other people* having less rights and could not be convinced that it also meant *they* would have less rights too. #LeopardFace

"We want to talk about the #rights of #female #students and whether or not they're #comfortable going into a washroom with a biological male (#Trans #girl)," EducationMinister #BillHogan told #InformationMorningFredericton.

Hogan's plan to explore these questions comes about six years after the #federal #HumanRightsAct made it a #violation to stop a person from using a #gendered #washroom, or to #limit #access to one because of a person's #perceived #anatomy

If you thought #humanrights were safer now #DomindRaab has left the building, sadly @davidallengreen has got some bad news for you...

the #humanrightsact maybe 'safe' but the illiberals in the #Tory have a more subtle tactic they're rolling out; death by a thousand cuts through the use of 'notwithstanding' clauses in revision legislation.

Bully boy Raab's stategy has proved unworkable, but this looks a lot more dangerous!

Here's the ever reliable & sensible @davidallengreen on the irony of the #DailyMail invoking the #humanrightsact to shield its #journalists (and their practices) from scrutiny... if you're not subscribing to DAG's blog I'd certainly recommend it!

#NewMexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham signed #HB207 expanding protections for #LGBTQ New Mexicans under the #HumanRightsAct. #HB31 removes the #publicationrequirement for #namechanges, enabling #transgender residents to petition for a name change safely.

They join #HB7 prohibiting public bodies from discriminating against individuals’ rights to use or refuse #reproductive and #genderaffirming #healthcare.

The #DailyMail’s parent company has successfully invoked the #HumanRightsAct to stop other media outlets naming its journalists in a #PhoneHacking court case. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/mar/27/daily-mail-parent-company-invokes-human-rights-act-to-stop-naming-of-journalists

"Daily Mail parent company invokes Human Rights Act to stop naming of journalists"

The Daily Mail has, of course, campaigned against the Human Rights Act for years.

The irony.
