If you've never attended Lobby Day before, our pre-recorded Preparation Video is the best place to start . It covers logistics, lobbying tips, and why Lobby Day is so important.


Hope to see you next Winter in Olympia!

Midwife Lobby Day was a huge success again this year! Thank you to everyone who showed up in Olympia on Feb 13th, 2025 to advocate for midwifery and improved perinatal health in our state!

​Over 60 supporters came down to the capital for more than 80 appointments with our elected officials. This important work saves each Licensed Midwife ~$2500 per year as a result as a result of the cap on our licensing fees, which we have been advocating for and receiving for more than the last decade and a half!

Land Acknowledgement 
MAWS acknowledges that we live and work on the unceded ancestral lands of the Coast Salish tribes and pay our respects to all of the ancestral homelands and traditional territories of Indigenous peoples who have been here since time immemorial. We recognize that this land touches on the shared waters of tribes and bands within the Duwamish, Puyallup, Suquamish, Tulalip and Muckleshoot nations. We recognize we are grateful to be guests in these lands and commit to show solidarity for the continued fight for Indigenous sovereignty. ​
