Protest #3: To Demand Midwives be reinstated at Pleasant Valley Hospital.

Members and supporters of the Birth Action Coalition intend to gather each month in front of St. John’s Regional Medical Center in Oxnard, until they either: reinstate the midwives at Pleasant Valley; show records of birth outcomes for CNMs and obstetricians which support their claim that it is safer for “low risk” birthing women and babies to labor in Oxnard; or retract their claim that the midwifery ban is due to patient safety.

When: Friday, March 19th, 11am-1pm
Where: Corner of Rose & Gonzalez in Oxnard, in front of St. John's Regional Medical Center. The admin & CEO offices look out onto where will be. AND, the Medical Committee which approved this ban is meeting on this day.

Join us! and invite your friends!

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
Please DO NOT park in St. John's parking lot.
Please observe ALL rules regarding pedestrian traffic.
Please wear RED shirts (black & brown blend too much, we are going for a bright color).
When at the protest & holding a sign, please face sign toward the street.
Bring your signs (Bigger/Thicker Words are more visible), or borrow one of ours.
Please make sure all trash is picked up.
