Join D4D and A Better Balance on December 11, 2025 and January 8, 2026 at 7pm (EST) via Zoom to learn about Temporary Disability Insurance, a New York State benefits that can help financially support you or your clients through pregnancy and postpartum recovery.

Every couple of months Doulas 4 Democracy will be hosting knowledge and skillshares, coordinated events where folks can collectively learn and apply skills regarding real-life issues in our communities. Come through to our first one to learn how Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI) entitles New York State residents to partial wage replacement during the pregnant and postpartum periods -- aka making sure you get paid while you can't work. First session we'll be discussing what TDI is and how it can help; and the second session we'll go through how to apply for TDI.

Come through with your questions and curiosities and we'll supply the facts! Register here to join: https://bit.ly/D4DTDITEACHIN
See you soon!

Doulas 4 Democracy has been in the lab, working hard to bring more offerings to our community and we're thrilled to announce the first meeting of our book club on Nov. 13 via zoom!

As an organizing group focused on reproductive and birth justice, and comprised of birthworkers, death workers, healers and advocates of all types, we think it's important that we make space for collective learning and dialogue to grow, digest and act together. Our first reading is "Revolutionary Mothering: Love on the Front Lines" an anthology about what it means to raise humans in a world that is bent on your eradication, subjugation and exploitation, edited by Alexis Pauline Gumbs, China Martens, and Mai'a Williams. Once you register, we'll send you a digital copy. Since it is a collection of essays and stories, all we ask is that you pick one to read for discussion -- we may not pick the same one but it's that diversity and perspective that will make for a rich conversation.

Register to read and chat on Nov. 13 using this link: https://bit.ly/4pT3YuF

Hope to see you soon!

Join Ancient Song and A Better Balance
via zoom for a two-part discussion on October 14 and 21 at 7:00pm ET about the New York State benefits that can help during pregnancy and postpartum recovery. Temporary disability insurance, or TDI, entitles partial-wage replacement to people employed in New York state. This is important for anyone pregnant or laboring in the near future -- in New York State pregnancy is considered a disability so these benefits cover you.
To learn more on how to access these benefits and get involved in the fight for increasing them, go to https://bit.ly/TDITeachIn to register for this conversation.
