Women’s Legislative Briefing

The Women’s Legislative Briefing (WLB) is the premier and longest-standing women’s legislative event in the state of Maryland. It is coordinated by the Montgomery County Commission for Women and brings together advocates, policymakers, and emerging leaders to empower, engage, and mobilize Marylanders around issues affecting women and girls throughout the state. The WLB inspires, promotes action, and helps bridge perspectives.

Michelle Whittaker, Executive Director for RCV Maryland, will be a panelist for the 4pm breakout session on Women’s Rights.

Women’s Rights: Your Rights, Your Power: Understanding Legal and Civic Protections

Attendees will learn how to navigate systems, access resources, and take action to protect themselves and their communities. The discussion will provide practical guidance for asserting rights and advocating for justice.
