It is hard to believe that the Walk starts next Friday. I am so grateful for the outpouring of support and all the efforts of the Coordinators at each location. They are working so hard to make each Walk a success.
Yesterday our media alert went out to all the local media outlets, and thanks to The Big Push for Midwives, all over the country. Today our Location Coordinators were busy doing follow-up calls and thanks to Ronda Kvigne, I got to visit with a reporter from the Dell Rapids paper. I also was able to deliver some T-shirts to Elegant Mommy in Sioux Falls.
Tonight I'll work on a letter to legislators inviting them to join a Walk for Midwives near them. I hope all of you will take the time to personally write or call your legislators and tell them about this event and why it is important to you that Certified Professional Midwives be able to practice legally in our state. If you need some help with talking points check out "Lobbying Lessons" under "Resources" on the South Dakota Safe Childbirth Options website.
Keep up the great work, everyone! Let's use this opportunity to reach out to the public, the press and legislators to the max!
Peace,
Debbie
