If you believe that growth and sustainability of midwifery care in Alberta is important, we would love your support. The Alberta Association of Midwives has several advocacy campaigns currently underway, and we encourage you to take part in the following actions: �
1 Please go to www.alberta-midwives.ca and follow the prompts on the homepage to “Write Your MLA”. It takes 5 minutes to enter your postal code and will send a letter to your local representative to advocate for midwifery care in Alberta.
2 Visit any midwifery practice in your area to fill out and send a physical postcard to your MLA. The postcard message is simple: “My Family. My Birth. My Midwife.” We want every MLA in Alberta to be hearing how crucial midwifery care is as negotiations continue to support growth and sustainability in Alberta - specifically, the need for increased privileges and adequate hospital-based supports.
If you are willing to be involved in a video-based social media campaign currently being developed, please reach out to Alberta Association of Midwives’ Executive Director, Jennifer Gullage-Payne at jennifer.gullage-payne@alberta-midwives.ca. Share why midwifery matters to you as a consumer, a voting constituent, and Albertan who deserves access to safe, high-quality maternity care.
