We are living through a dark chapter in Alberta’s history - a time our children and future generations will read about with disgust in their textbooks. The UCP have enacted the FOUR times this fall sitting, in desperate attempt to override Albertan's charter rights. With the recent passing of Bill 9, targeting the disabled community with Bill 12, and relentless harm to marginalized communities, the UCP is making it clear: this isn’t about "protecting" anyone. They want us to suffer, disappear, and ultimately die. This is eugenics in action. But we won’t stay silent. We won’t go quietly into the shadows. We will fight for our right to live, to be seen, and to demand justice.

Folks, especially professionals, business owners with platforms, and birthworkers serving the most vulnerable - this is the time to be LOUD. This is the time to stand up, speak out, and make sure our communities know they are seen, heard, and supported. We cannot be silent while these injustices unfold. The time to act passed a long time ago.

Visit the LinkTree in my bio for action you can take today.

Many folks have seen the 2 recent videos of pregnant Black mothers experiencing medical racism while trying to access care, but these unjust realities are not new.

White birthworkers - whether you're a doula, childbirth educator, nurse, OB or midwife - it’s OUR responsibility to take initiative in our own learning, to seek out resources, and engage in anti-racist education/action. This is a look in the mirror moment, and honestly it shouldn't take witnessing it to care, speakup and do the work. It is not the Black community's job to educate or make space for us. We must do better.



[ID: 5 images with white text and a black background, that say:

Black mothers and birthing folks are the foundation of birthwork. Their autonomy and power is essential.

We must listen to and amplify the voices of Black mothers and birthing people in ALL spaces.

No one should ever be denied care of treated inhumanely because of their race.

Every Black mother and birthing person should be treated with dignity and respect. ]

Reproductive experiences cannot be placed in simple boxes - they are as diverse as the people going through them. For nonbinary and gender-diverse individuals, these experiences often come with their own set of unique challenges, but also with strength, resilience and beauty.

The truth is, every person’s journey through pregnancy, birth and postpartum is deeply personal and different. No two experiences are the same. The care and support people need should reflect that diversity. It's not just about making space for different identities; it's about making sure that care feels like it was made for you - without assumptions or expectations about what your experience "should" look like.

As a nonbinary birthworker, I see you. While there are certainly challenges, let’s not forget the power and beauty. There is incredible opportunity to reclaim space, feel empowered in our bodies and connect with our truth in ways that are deeply affirming. You are resilient. You are capable. Your journey is a testament to your strength and you have everything within you to thrive through it.



[ID: The image has a green background with the following text stacked:

"Every Body" in yellow
"Every Pregnancy" in white
"Every Birth" in purple
"Every Postpartum" in black

There's also a small heart icon in the top left with yellow, white, purple and black colors.]

There is a culture shift that needs to change, and I know it is Canada wide, as well as North America wide and worldwide.

Just because you walk into a hospital for your birth =/= consent to cohorse.
Just because you walk into a hospital for your birth =/= consent for medical assistance such as cervical checks, application of the heart monitors, or medical procedures. This includes episiotomies, having the medical professionals fingers in or around your babies head to "help" with delivery or applying an international fetal monitor
Just because you walk into a hospital for your birth =/= consent to the hospital staff over seeing procedures vs. your midwife offering medical support such as catheter application
Just because you walk into a hospital for your birth =/= that because you agreed once before (to be touched, assisted, or multimanaged) that the staff can do this again. Consent must be obtained consistently.
