The fact that we’re putting service members in harms way without a plan is absolutely unacceptable. Congress needs to step in! Congress needs to do there job!!!

This week I closed out my time at Maternidad La Luz. I am immensely grateful to the families who allowed me into their birthing journey and to the students and midwives who made space for learning and welcomed me into their work.

Yet, the same companies make unsupported marketing claims just as they engage in these unsafe practices - exactly as we've seen during the 2022 formula crisis. Many examples we covered in the Lancet Breastfeeding Series. Same old playbook. www.thelancet.com/series-do/br...

"We moms shouldn’t have to hold the nation together on empty." With list of community resources during government shutdown
Food Support As over 40 million SNAP recipients won't receive their benefits, go to Feeding America's food bank network
Diapers & Baby Supplies Go to National Diaper Bank Network's database of diaper banks to find and distribute free diapers
Rent & Utility Assistance Go to 211.org for essential community services, including support for housing & utilities expenses
Moms shouldn't have to hold the nation together on empty. Yet we are in the middle of a government shutdown that has thrown families into chaos.
Share these resources so families can find the care they deserve! www.momsrising.org/blog/community-care-star... #MomSky
Thank you!!!!! 😘 I’m still very early in my schooling but loving every minute of it.
One of the first questions I get when I share I’m in midwifery school is what pathway I chose and why. Since my day job is fighting against systemic barriers, I knew I needed my training centered in community midwifery. #studentmidwife
