Hello!
Well its time begin the labor process on a second, Birth Justice Fair.
A core group has met and decided our theme is : Natural Birth is a human right and saves lives!
we will be raising funds to assist a member of our community Sister Jessica (Bella) Hollie and her family in their struggle to pay for a birth a the Sacred Birth Place! As well as hold a major food drive to other expectant families in our community!
We will need many hands,hearts, and visions!
Our last fair was incredibly beautiful – I am in the process of finding video which I will post her for all to see!
Please bring food to share!
See you then!
We plan to live stream the meeting for those who can’t attend – but only those there in person can vote, or have direct feed back.
Children are most welcome!
Blessings
Samsarah
