Midwives save lives!

Restore access to midwives in Massachusetts! Our state’s regressive laws are a barrier to our autonomy, our birthing rights and choices, racial equity and justice, and better health outcomes for birthing people. Take action now to support safe and accessible maternity care for all!

Bill status as of April 26: Legislation to expand access to midwives and birth centers has been reported favorably from the Public Health Committee! We are pushing to get this over the finish line before the legislative session ends on July 31.

We deserve midwives, birth centers, and home births. We are fighting for maternal health, racial justice, autonomy, and choice. Learn more about our legislative priorities.
