Midwives in New York need our help. Free Our Midwives is campaigning the New York State legislature to pass the Midwifery Modernization Act before the summer break. This is a piece of legislation that would free NY midwives from the archaic and patriarchal requirement of having an obstetrician ‘approve’ their practice & would allow midwives to function as the independent healthcare providers they are trained to be. Please join me in contacting NYS legislators to show our support of this legislation – let’s give it ONE BIG PUSH and get it passed this session!
Here is more information about the Act itself
And here is what you can do to help:
1) Please pass this call for action along to all of your friends, family, & midwives especially those living in New York.
2) If you live in NY, click here to find out exactly who to call/write.
