Prep Meeting: April 7, 2025
Advocacy Day: April 8th, 2025
10am-3pm
It’s time to head to Raleigh and advocate for legislation to license Certified Professional Midwives in North Carolina!
10 AM – 12 PM – Join NC ACPM Board members and members of our lobbyist team, EQV Strategic, under the portico (the entrance) of the Legislative Office Building. (see map)
We will have informational signs, handouts, and a tasty treat to share with legislators.
12 PM – 3 PM – We will be available throughout the day to support community members meeting with their legislators.
We encourage everyone coming to make appointments to meet with your Representative and Senator and talk to them about why CPM licensure matters to you and your family.

EMAIL both your legislator and their LA (assistant) – let them know that you will be in Raleigh on April 8th and would love the opportunity to discuss Midwifery in NC.
If you make an appointment and would like support, please email us at ncacpm@gmail.com with your legislator’s name and your appointment time(s) so that we can coordinate support.
