Past MFSB Events – 2018

  • Open Board Meeting – Friday, January 19: You are invited to sit in on a Board Meeting to see what happens behind the scenes! We would love to meet you. See the Event Calendar for more details.
  • Lobby Day 2018: On Wednesday, February 7, 2018, our army of supporters (moms, their partners, and little ones) will be gathering in Annapolis to make our voices heard. We will be lobbying for our Maternal Data Transparency Bill, ways to reduce Maryland’s cesarean section rates, and decreasing racial disparities in maternal care. This is a great opportunity to meet with your own elected representatives and let them know how important these issues are to you. Check the Event Calendar and watch for updates!
  • Support House Joint Resolution 10: The hearing for our Cesarean Resolution is Monday, March 5, 2018 at 3 pm in the House Rules and Executive Nominations Committee. We need as much written testimony as possible to support this bill. Why is it important to lower the Cesarean rate? How is the high Cesarean rate in MD affecting our women and families? Has it affected you personally? Please contact your legislators and the committee members to voice your support for House Joint Resolution 10 – Decreasing Surgical Births.  Passing this resolution will open the door for future legislative efforts, as it is a formal recognition by the legislature that they are committed to action on this issue. Let’s make this happen!!! Read the full text of the Cesarean Resolution bill HERE.
