birth activist

After our local BirthNetwork's community activist meeting, I got to wondering what was out there on the web in the way of birth advocacy. The Journal of Perinatal Education provides endless amounts of support for normal birth and evidence-based care, and of course there's CIMS advocating mother- and baby-friendly care.

Then I happened upon Birthing the Future, a Colorado-based 501(c)3 working on birth advocacy and education, headed up by Suzanne Arms.

In the "Take Action" part of the site, there's a list of 52 actions you can do to advocate birth, to "make every birth better for everyone," and other links to follow. 52! And these are things the average person can do. There's work to be done here, folks. May we all be busy!
