Great press from our legislative event!

This weekend's events were inspiring and incredibly productive. They also generated some positive press from our local newspapers.

The Press-Citizen, Iowa City's local community newspaper, printed this op-ed that advocates for the legalization and licensure of direct-entry midwives in Iowa. Friend of Iowa Midwives Erin Auer-Sears was also quoted in an earlier article before the workshop.

The Daily Iowan, newspaper for the University of Iowa, features an article about the workshop as well as a webcast with a brief interview with our guest speaker, the fabulous Ida Darragh. Lots of Friends members are featured, and lots of adorable babies!

What an outstanding start for our group!
