Giving Tuesday to Your Midwives and an Advocacy Opportunity!

Win on Giving Tuesday!

We are excited to offer a raffle to this year’s Giving Tuesday participants! Donating $25 or more from now until Giving Tuesday (tomorrow) will enter you to win one of this year’s Limited Edition shirts, which we collaborated with CMNA in creating.

The implications of this collaboration for the state of Georgia are huge and we are attempting to make history. We cannot do this without the support of our families! Read more about the history of midwifery in Georgia and our collaboration with CMNA.

Midwives come when you need them. Even in the middle of the night. Now your midwives need you! We need licensure so that we can be protected to continue practicing, obtain supplies we need to take care of you, and help you get covered through insurance or Medicaid. Our licensure efforts cost money, so every donation helps!

Alert! Legislative Advocacy Opportunity!

The Secretary of State oversees all professional licenses in the state of Georgia. It is imperative that they hear from Georgia’s families that community midwives need licensure too! Please register at the link below and plan to join us with your questions for Dr. John Eaves on how he can help midwives gain licensure if he is elected as Georgia’s next Secretary of State.

You are invited to a Zoom meeting.  

When: Dec 4, 2021 10:00 AM Eastern Time (US and Canada)  

 

Register in advance for this meeting:

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. 

Midwife Swag

Finally, we have relaunched our store! If you are looking for the perfect gift for the midwife in your life, or would like to show your support for Georgia’s midwives, we have the stuff you need! Grab a tote and tuck a mug and a tshirt in it!

So register for the zoom with Secretary of State hopeful Dr. John Eaves (link above), donate for Giving Tuesday, and if you don’t win a shirt, you can still purchase one! Lots of opportunities to support your midwife.
