Reclaiming Birth - March to Whitehall




RECLAIMING BIRTH: AN INVITATION TO THE EVENT OF THE YEAR: A MARCH THROUGH LONDON TO WHITEHALL TO DELIVER A PETITION TO THE HEALTH MINISTER & LETTERS TO THE PRIME MINISTER:

This government really needs to understand that there is a lot of strong feeling about the state of the maternity services, nothing would demonstrate that more than 1000's of bumps and babies and people walking together to demonstrate their belief that we need to reclaim birth back from the machine and to demand the government turns all the rhetoric into action - no more policy but real, tangible change in every community throughout the country


Anyone who has a link into other groups such as the WI / doulas / MSLCs / yoga groups / schools /community groups etc - please mobilise them all, it would be so good to get all the generations turning out to support the provision of humane and holistic birth as a right for all women

PLEASE, PLEASE DO WHATEVER YOU CAN TO GET THE WORD OUT THERE AND TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO COME ON THE DAY. THERE HAS BEEN A GREAT DEAL OF WORK DONE TO GET THIS ORGANISED - THE POWER OF PEOPLE ON THE STREETS CANNOT BE BEATEN - LETS GET OUT THERE AND ADD OUR VOICE TO THE DEMAND FOR CHANGE

Many thanks for your support
