VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY!

For the last 10+ years we have hosted the Baby Lounge at the Sacramento County Fair and we look forward to hosting this wonderful space again this year but we NEED your help!

What is the Baby Lounge?
The Baby Lounge is a clean, private space for parents to nurse or pump while visiting the fair. There is also a changing table available for changing diapers.

How can you help?
Sign up to be a Baby Lounge host. Shifts are only 3 hours long and each volunteer receives free parking and admission. Plus you get to connect with your community. This is a rewarding experience as all of the nursing families who use the lounge are very grateful for the space.

This year’s Black Maternal Health Week ( ) theme is “Rooted in Justice & Joy.”….“We honor the power of our collective movement, nurturing thriving families and shaping a liberated future rooted in justice, healing, and joy. This milestone theme reflects the strength and resilience of Black-led perinatal, maternal, and reproductive health organizations that have cultivated change and healing across communities. It acknowledges the enduring legacies of systemic oppression, reproductive injustices, and health inequities that continue to impact Black Mamas and birthing people, while calling for a liberated future rooted in restoration, justice, and joy.”

Held annually on April 11-17th, BMHW is a week-long campaign founded and led by the Black Mamas Matter Alliance to build awareness, activism, and community-building to amplify the voices, perspectives and lived experiences of Black Mamas and birthing people.

I attended today’s committee hearings in support of AB 2160 (Medi-Cal Lactation Services), and I’m happy to share that the bill passed the Assembly Health Committee on consent with unanimous support! The next step is Assembly Appropriations.

Expanding access to quality lactation support is a key principle of my work with Nourishing Justly and as President of the Sacramento Breastfeeding Coalition. It’s why I spend hours on insurance issues and accept a sliding scale for folks utilizing Medi-Cal. Currently, IBCLCs cannot be enrolled directly as Medi-Cal providers and reimbursed. This limits access to care for those who need it.

Assembly Bill 2160 (Introduced by Assembly Member Celeste Rodriguez) will help
• International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) to enroll as Medi-Cal providers and bill for services directly
• Remove the need for prior authorization or referrals for lactation services
• “Require the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) to issue clear billing and reimbursement guidance, ensuring managed care plans fulfill their responsibility to cover these essential services.” ().

Learn how you can support this bill via a letter or in person at the Capitol:
