March is Women's History Month—a time dedicated to recognizing the countless contributions women have made throughout history, across various fields. From politics and science to the arts and beyond, the stories of women often go untold or underappreciated. But March provides an opportunity to change that narrative, honoring the legacy of those who have fought for equality and justice, while also shining a light on the issues that remain.

Maine has long been a state that values community, safety and support for those in need. Yet recent federal cuts to domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking prevention programs threaten to undermine these values, leaving survivors without critical resources and putting lives in danger. The Legislature must step up and fill the funding void left by the federal government.
