Silhouette_or_a_pregnant_woman_and_her_partner-14Aug2011

Rally to call attention to the healthcare crisis around U.S. maternity care. This Labor Day, our community will stand simultaneously with thousands of people in over 150 cities in all 50 states around the country, in peaceful, family-oriented gatherings, for the 2013 second 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.

WHEN:

Labor Day, September 2, 2013

10 a.m. to 12 noon

WHERE:

SR 436 in Altamonte Springs between Essex Ave and Palm Springs Dr in front of Sears at the Altamonte Mall

WHY:

U.S. maternity care is in a crisis. Our all-time high Cesarean section rate of 1 in 3 births is just one indicator of a system where the care we receive is shaped by many factors other than what is best for moms and babies—where 9 out of 10 women receive care that increases, rather than decreases, the risks of harm to them and their babies (see www.ImprovingBirth.com/the-evidence-shows).

WHO

Mothers, fathers, children, healthcare providers, birth professionals, and anyone else who supports better, safer, more respectful maternity care.
