Action of the Day:
Please tell two friends (who live in New York State) about this website and encourage them to become members by subscribing for free. We are growing all the time, but we need your help! Spread the word.
Current News:
We are busy planning for Lobby Day in Albany. On April 12, 2010, we will have the opportunity to show our numbers at the rally and if you want to speak with your legislator about the importance of Midwifery in NYS you can register through the NYSALM website. All you need to register is your zip code + four. We will have more information for you soon. If your local community is planning on attending let us know!
Upcoming Events:
Please let us know if your community is hosting any events. We would love to feature you. We've been getting pictures and subscribers from supporters all over the state so we know you are out there. Say hello and keep us informed!
Don’t Forget:
We are on our way to collecting 1000 photos showing support for the legislation! Participate in the photo project by sending in pictures of your baby or your family with a sign saying “We support midwives” or “I wish we had a midwife in our community” or “Another safe birth with a midwife”. Send pictures to Hillary at: hillary@freeourmidwives.org. Everyone who is in support of the legislation is welcome to participate. Just tailor your sign to your situation.
Community Shout Out:
FreeOurMidwives.org has officially reached over 100 members! Thank you so much for everyone who has joined our efforts and we know there are more supporters out there. Please pass the site onto your friends and family. Legislators have told the midwives that they need to hear from consumers so it is extremely important that you're counted! Encourage your friends and family to become a member today by subscribing for free. If each of our subscribers does today's Action of the Day (see above) we have the potential of having 300 members today! Let's make it happen.
