Events and Important Dates

What's UP across the PushNation!?

Having a state rally? Organizing a state or national policymaker letter-writing party? Scheduling a legislative advocacy day or community meeting? Hosting a birth org fundraiser? Opening a birth center with a ribbon-cutting event or hosting a birth center open-house/community tour?*** (Or just really, really want to get your Ricki and Abby fix?!?)

Please post your event here, and think of us as another channel to reach out to advocates in your state that are tuning in to the movement and who want to find YOU! (Also, if you think folks at your event will want to sign-up for PushAlerts, just download and print a few copies of our Big Push sign-up sheet to take with you!)

***PSSST! If you are associated with a birth center where midwives (CPMs, CNMs, CM, LMs) are practicing, we'd love to post a link to your practice in our PushMarket place. Help the grassroots find your organization in the community! Send an email our way with your birth center profile and a link, and we'll publish it asap!
