Election Rally - Wed Nov 13
Hello All
The Greens have decided to
make the National Maternity Action Plan (NMAP) the main feature of their
health policy launch. This launch is to take place on Wednesday
November 13 at 11am, venue to be confirmed (somewhere in Melb city, sorry will
confirm with another e-mail). Maternity Coalition will be there to
support the Greens and particularly to shame the major parties into action.
We will demonstrate that midwifery care is an issue to many of the 60
odd thousand women that given birth and their families, but also the misuse of
health funding (where obstetrics treats the majority) is of concern to the
majority of Victorians.
We need as many there as possible (esp lots of
babies and children). Please if you plan to do one thing for NMAP DO
THIS, it is a long time between elections and as the last election resulted in
a minority government the preferences from parties such as the Greens are
critical to the major parties so we have a real chance of making headway.
If you are a definite can you please e-mail be back off list at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] so I can get an idea of numbers.
I hope to
see heaps of midwives, consumers and B-Midders on Wednesday!
Yours in
solidarity
Justine Caines
