This Labor Day, our community will stand simultaneously with thousands of people in over 100 cities around the country, in peaceful, family-oriented gatherings, for the 2014 third annual Rally to Improve Birth. Our purpose is to call attention to the dire state of our maternal health care system and to call for evidence-based, humane birth practices.
The Rally to Improve Birth will be held on on the corner of Ross Clark Circle and W. Main Street in front of Taj Restaurant Monday morning from 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. Mothers, fathers, children, healthcare providers, birth professionals, and anyone else who supports better, safer, more respectful maternity care is invited to join the rally.
