Homebirth Family Picnic Potluck, Saturday 7/25
An invite to homebirth and birth center families for a potluck in the park:
Come meet other homebirth and birth center families and learn how you can be involved in preserving out-of-hospital birth in Oregon.
A group of homebirth families and midwives are organizing a social for homebirth and birth center families and are hoping to start a dynamic and effective consumer organization with any interested families at the picnic.
The event will be a picnic potluck in Laurelhurst park and everyone is welcome whether they are 8 weeks pregnant with their first child or their children have all moved away from home. The picnic will primarily be a time for folks to meet other home birth and birth center families and eat good food, but we will also have information packets for those who want to get politically involved. We will also give a very short talk about the consumer organization and potential projects it might be involved in such as:
- Letter writing campaign if there is a legislative threat to home birth
- Public education projects about the safety of home and birth center birth
- Fundraising for legislative efforts
