Upcoming Guest Speakers

A Midwife Solution, Virtual Film Showing and Q&A with film producer and midwife, Nicole Havelka, CPM

Sunday, November 24th at 5:30 PM PT / 8:30 PM ET

Public Registration: https://www.powr.io/zoom-form/i/36759697#page

A Midwife Solution is an intentionally short documentary, with the purpose of energizing and empowering community supporters and advocates as well as educating legislators, public health leadership, and other stakeholders.  This documentary is meant to be a hook that draws people into understanding there is an issue around CPM licensure and legal practice, makes people want to learn more and not only endorse but join the effort to see CPMs licensed and integrated in North Carolina.  North Carolina remains one of the few states that does not license CPMs to practice, and one of the very few that continues to criminalize CPMs who do practice.
