Rally/Protest Ideas - Help!

[Phoenix~Mama]

Hello! The women of the Lehigh Valley need your help! Our only midwife practice has recently lost their license at our hospital and we are working to fight this.

But where to begin? We need experienced activist help! What can we do to make the most impact?

We are currently writing to the hospital and are planning a rally for next weekend. We are trying to get media coverage.

Can anyone offer any pointers? Thank you for any help! And if you want to help the cause, please visit this thread:

And send in your letters! Every voice counts and can hopefully make a difference!

Just bumping this along. There are a lot of great activists on mdc and we could use help and guidance.

You need to talk with the ladies at Birth Without Boundaries ... and make sure you are tied in with ALL of the midwife activists in PA - there are a bunch of them! They will know what to do - probably demand a meeting with the president of the local hospital, then have a nurse-in until it is granted. You need a couple dozen Moms with young babies to get the TV news to show up.
