Raising Community Awareness

Things you can do for Raising Awareness in your community.

It does NOT take an organization of thousands or fifty women in a group to make change and raise awareness. All it takes is you!

Here are some “One Mom Makes A Difference” projects that you can do in your local area:

• Do posters or flyers for Cesarean Awareness Month and post them at your local consignment store, nursing school, college, library…
• Send an email to one person in your state legislature, or send one email to a hundred.
• Let your Congressperson know about the Cesarean Epidemic
• Hand out cesarean awareness ribbons
• Create a Library display (see below)
• Sponsor a table/Woman a table at a local birth fair.
• Start a local Cesarean Recovery/Planning a VBAC/Awareness Month group on Google Groups or Yahoo Groups.
• Do Cesarean Recovery/Planning a VBAC/Awareness Month meet-ups (http://www.MeetUp.com)

Quick Tips for Library Displays:

Always ask the Head Librarian well in advance of the dates you want to display.
