We are excited to share an important event with you that is coming up on April 10 – Lobby Day at the Ohio State House!
What is Lobby Day?
Lobby Day is a crucial opportunity for advocates like yourself to come together and make our voices heard by meeting with legislators and policymakers. It's a day when we collectively advocate for the licensing of midwives, a cause that is close to our hearts. If you're not familiar with the concept, Lobby Day is a chance to engage with elected officials, share personal stories, and express support for legislation that impacts our community.
Why Midwifery Licensing Matters:
Midwives play a vital role in providing personalized, compassionate care to expectant mothers. Licensing midwives ensures that they meet specific standards and qualifications, promoting safe and high-quality care for both mothers and babies. Your support can make a significant difference in advancing this cause and ensuring access to skilled midwifery care for all.
