#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."

Call for new Human Rights law in Wales amid fears of US‑style crackdown
Plaid Cymru MS Sioned Williams is urging the Senedd to back a new Human Rights Bill for Wales, saying global events show how quickly protections can be weakened. She said a “powerful and co‑ordinated movement” is trying to redraw “who deserves dignity and protection”, and warned that Wales cannot assume its own rights framework is safe.
Her comments come after reports from the US of violent confrontations involving ICE agents, which she says show how easily governments can restrict freedoms when rights are not legally enforceable.
Warning Wales is not immune
Ms Williams said Wales has its own human rights failings, pointing to a Welsh Government report which described the detention and hospitalisation of people with learning disabilities and autistic people as a “human rights scandal”.
Sioned Williams MS, Plaid Cymru, said too many people in Wales still face barriers that breach basic rights.
“It’s not enough to say that human rights are already regarded in Wales, when they’re not enforceable,” she said. “For too many people with learning disabilities and autistic people, their rights are being breached, right here in Wales.”
She said the problems extend across society, including gender‑based violence, poverty, structural racism, and the treatment of refugees and asylum seekers.
“A Human Rights Bill for Wales would ensure ministers and public bodies are bound by law to uphold the human rights of civilians,” she said. “It would improve accountability and make rights clearer and more accessible.”
What the Bill would do
The proposal calls for Wales to write key international human rights treaties directly into Welsh law. That would allow people to challenge public bodies in court if their rights are breached.
Ms Williams said the move was promised in the Welsh Labour Programme for Government but has not been delivered.
Her proposal is a Members’ Legislative Proposal, meaning it is non‑binding but will show the level of support a full Bill might receive.
Opposing voices
Reform UK has repeatedly argued for the UK to scrap or scale back human rights legislation, saying current laws are too broad and restrict government powers. The party has called for the UK to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights and replace existing protections with a new domestic framework.
A Reform UK spokesperson has previously said the current system “puts the rights of criminals and illegal migrants above the rights of the British public”, and that the UK needs “a simpler, tougher approach”.
The Welsh Government has not yet responded to Ms Williams’ proposal.

"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/

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.

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

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!

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

There's been a welcome focus this week on the UK govt's plans to overhaul human rights laws.
The recent piece here is a reminder of why we need to reinforce, not weaken, the ability to use rights.
Often it's so disabled people and their families, allies or adovocates can fight for stuff that others get anyway.
