Every Mother, Every Moment

Dear friends, colleagues, and birthkeepers,

We now hold in our hands a document that can truly change lives: the Postpartum Call to Action.

It is more than a statement — it’s a roadmap. And it’s up to us to bring it to life.

✨ For those of you who are inspired to work together, we invite you to a lunch meeting on Tuesday, November 18, at 12 pm.

This will be an open space to connect, exchange ideas, and plan tangible next steps for collective action.

Save it to you calendar with the Zoom link where we'll meet: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86015720777?pwd=t7wdCvxWYq3cAcD9IlYEX2fPMQeGre.1​

We're excited to have this conversation together!

​

​​This Is Our Moment

Every one of us — doulas, midwives, doctors, psychologists, parents, policy advocates — witnesses how postpartum care falls through the cracks.

We see the exhaustion, the silence, the invisible wounds. And we also see the potential — the transformation that happens when mothers are held, heard, and supported.

The Call to Action gives us a shared framework. It outlines concrete steps to make postpartum care comprehensive, continuous, and compassionate — everywhere.

Now it’s time to act.

​

Here’s What YOU Can Do Today

If you’re a doula or birthkeeper:

• Integrate postpartum follow-up into every prenatal conversation.
• Create or join a local postpartum support circle.
• Print the Call to Action and share it with your clients, midwives, and local clinics.

If you’re a midwife or health practitioner:

• Bring the Call to Action to your team meetings.
• Advocate for trauma-informed and culturally sensitive postpartum care in your workplace.
• Collaborate with mental health professionals to ensure continuity of care.

If you’re a parent or community ally:

• Read the Call to Action and talk about it — at your workplace, in your family, in your online groups.
• Ask your care providers about postpartum follow-up and mental health support.
• Support local initiatives that make postpartum recovery visible and supported.

If you’re a policymaker, educator, or institutional leader:

• Endorse the Call to Action.
• Integrate it into training, policy reviews, and maternal health frameworks.
• Fund postpartum research and community support networks.

❤️ We Can Do This — Together

Postpartum is not a private struggle. It is a public health priority.

When we invest in mothers, we invest in the health and future of our entire society.

Together, we can make postpartum care a standard, not a privilege.

Together, we can ensure every family emerges from this tender window stronger, not broken.

Let’s not wait for another report, another study, another tragedy.

Let’s take this document — and turn it into daily practice, visible change, and policy transformation.
