Help us stop the eradication of the American midwife.

For more than a century, as licensure systems and medical regulation expanded, traditional and community midwives were pushed out. Authority moved from families to institutions. Independent care was labeled unsafe, unrecognized, or illegal. What had existed for generations was slowly replaced by monopoly control.

Families lost options.

Midwives lost the ability to practice.

Communities lost local care.

And it kept happening because almost nobody had the resources to fight back.

Until now.

The National Alliance for Traditional Birth Rights (NATBR) is a grassroots national initiative working to protect traditional midwifery, birth freedom, and cultural maternity care.

Right now, NATBR is one person doing the work: a midwife and mother of ten coordinating national advocacy while still serving families. Behind that effort is a growing panel of experts and advisors from around the country including midwives, physicians, attorneys, researchers, birth workers, and policy advocates who are contributing data, testimony, and strategic guidance. 

Federal briefings have already been delivered in Washington. Preparation is underway for submission to the Religious Liberty Commission. Attorneys, physicians, and policy experts are contributing research and review to build lasting protection.

Birth Freedom language has already been introduced in Pennsylvania and Florida, with additional states in development.

This is the moment people have waited for. Real strategy. Real access. Real opportunity to interrupt the cycle that has erased midwives across the country.

But access to those rooms requires funding.

Travel.

Legal review.

Policy drafting.

Research.

Printing and certified mail.

National coordination.

If a midwife ever served you, supported you, or protected your right to choose your birth, this is your opportunity to help protect hers.

Five dollars is not small. When many people give, it demonstrates public backing and keeps the work moving forward long enough to win.

Your donation directly supports constitutional strategy, legislation, federal advocacy, documentation of professional targeting, and national organizing for birth rights.

This is how the eradication ends.

Stand with the midwives who stood with you.
