March 19th, 2025 A Better Balance Teach-In

March 19, 2025 (bit.ly/mar19mmhc): A Better Balance on Leave Options and other Protections for Pregnant/Postpartum Workers + Sharing NYSBCA's Official Legislative Strategy & Details for 3/26 Maternal Health Day of Action in Albany and Remote!

• About the Series -

Equitable. Safe. Beautiful. Empowered. Just. This is our vision for pregnancy and birth in New York - but it's far from the current reality. Why? And, most importantly, what can we do about it? This community-led teach-in series will unpack the reasons - and solutions - behind why:

• A bill legalizing midwifery birth centers was passed in 2021 yet access is still scarce

• Limited options for midwifery care exist statewide

• Maternal deaths and stillbirths continue to plague Black & Brown families disproportionately

• The postpartum period remains one of the most dangerous times for birthing people

• And much more!
