| | Across the PushNation, the best and brightest grassroots advocates are hustling to get to PushSummit 2011 to share, review, and learn from one another. By trains, planes, and automobiles, they are planning and saving their pennies so they can attend. These are the actual folks out in the PushStates who drive the miles, pound the pavement, and walk the halls of power in order to push for increased access to out-of-hospital maternity care and the Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) who are specifically trained to provide it. For some, the pennies don't quite add up, and they're not sure how they are going to make it to Cary, NORTH CAROLINA August 6. If you cannot attend, but still have the urge to push, please donate today and help send a dedicated Pusher from your state to PushSummit 2011! Every amount is most appreciated, but please give today, the conference is just two weeks away! The Summit's PushUniversity is a unique opportunity for people who want to become agents of change to learn from the birth community's experts on everything from effective organizing tactics, to grassroots mobilization, to utilizing the media—as well as the many resources available via The Big Push for Midwives—to promote positive messages about midwifery and out-of-hospital birth and to build effective legislative campaigns that expand access to the full range of birth options for families nationwide. On behalf of the PushNation, thank you so much for your generous support!
The Summit will take place alongside the MANA Region 3 conference.
