Join US Next Year in Olympia!

We hold an annual Midwife Lobby Day in Olympia every year! Check back here next December/January so we can schedule visits for you with a Team Lead. 

In February 2026, over 60 supporters came down to the capital to meet with our elected officials. Thank you to everyone who showed up to advocate for midwifery and improved perinatal health in our state! 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!
