BOLDAustin2007

Birth On Labor Day is...

• a global movement to make maternity care mother-friendly.
  
  
• grassroots events that use the arts to get communities to educate themselves, speak their truth and take action on maternity care issues.
  
  
• an awareness-raising and fundraising opportunity for groups, organizations and individuals to support mother-initiated dialogue and solutions to maternity care.

What is BOLD’s approach?

BOLD's approach to our mission is based on similar "theatre for social change" models (V-Day, The Innocence Project). Every September (and on Labour Days around the world) we support communities to perform Karen Brody's critically-acclaimed play, Birth and/or hold a BOLD Red Tent event. The goal of each event is to engage communities in a discussion about how to improve their local maternity care issues. BOLD puts mothers at the center of solving their maternity care problems. At BOLD we ask mothers: what kind of childbirth conditions do you want? What do you deserve?

What does the BOLD acronym stand for?
