Dear All

Do you want to make a change in society forever? Then do this. There will be a march/rally on Sunday 7th March 2010 in London to demand the Albany Model of Care for all women. This isn't just about women, its a very important societial change to see birthing as a natural process and not a disease or illness. Birth is an empowering and mind blowing point of change in a woman's life, but others want to take that very important point of change away from women.

Midwives are a professional body, who are trained to ONLY deliver babies, they are skilled and talented and experienced to do this one job, and ONLY this job, but others want to take that away from them, well, we need to take it all back from those who should not have such control and power.

This is soooo very important. If you are a woman who has had a wonderful birth, please come and march with us. If you are a woman who has had a bad birth experince, and want change, plase march with us. If you are a woman who has never had a baby, please march with us. We want all women to experience the Albany model of care, one to one care, continuity of care, 24 hour on call help, friendly, supportive, trustworthy, lovely, loyal, informative, friends, in your local area,help with breastfeeding. This is what the march wants for all women. We want the albany model of care to be rolled out everywhere.

It will be a family day out hopefully, so bring a picnic and yourselves and your babies all wrapped up warmly. Bring banners. Bring flags, Bring brooms, bring fathers, partners, grannies, granddads, uncles, aunties, everyone who has had a baby....or who knows or has been in contact with a baby. Please come and join the fight! Please see the website for updates:
