Mark your calendars! A Cesarean Awareness
Rally, "Cutting Through the Fear" will be held on Saturday, May 16th
at 2 pm outside Northside Hospital. This event is co-sponsored by the Georgia
Birth Network and ICAN of Atlanta. "Cutting Through the Fear" will be a visual
reminder of the current cesarean rate. Each participant will receive a free
t-shirt, to be worn at the rally. We will provide you with either a red or white
shirt, every 3rd person in attendance will receive a red shirt to signify that 1
in 3 women are having surgical births.

Following this event, there will be a reception at a nearby location that will
include food, info and birth films! All are welcome to participate and we look
forward to spreading the word and creating more awareness. Please pass this info
along to anyone you think may be interested in participating or sponsoring. This
rally is in need of several sponsors so if you or anyone you know may be
interested, please contact us at 678-264-4944 or info@gabirthnetwork .com. Any
press contacts are also appreciated. Let us know if you plan to attend so that
we are sure to have enough shirts for everyone!

***You are welcome to have your families join you after the rally, but we
request that you not bring small children (babes in arms are ok) due to the
safety concerns of being near major roadways.
