Greetings from
the Arkansas VBAC Coalition,
ICAN of NW Arkansas, and
BirthNetwork NWA !
Last week families from all over NW Arkansas gathered at Northwest Medical Center to protest the hospital's blanket ban on VBAC (Vaginal Birth after Cesarean). After our actions, we are hearing that the hospitals are feeling the pressure. Coverage from the latest protest was featured on 40/29.
It's time for a Picnic and a Protest!
We want to continue the momentum for a THIRD week! If you are a childbearing woman or if you have a wife, a mother, a sister, or a daughter, you may be faced with the difficult situation of a mandatory repeat cesarean section.
Please join us on
Friday, May 1st, 2009
from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Protest Northwest Medical Center -- Willow Creek's
VBAC Ban
at the Johnson City Park
Johnson, AR
A limited number of signs is available, or you can bring your own homemade sign. Parking is available on a first come, first served basis.
Don't forget your sunscreen/umbrellas and your picnic lunch.
If you missed last week's protest, please come and let's double the number of those present! The hospitals are just beginning to notice that we will not take this unethical practice anymore! You may just be helping your best friend, your sister, or yourself.
Wouldn't you feel great if the hospitals reversed their bans because you raised your voice?
Visit www.bringbackvbac.org for more information on the local bans and research on VBAC safety. Or call Beth Day at 685-5232 or Aly Kirkpatrick at 251-8446 with your questions.

VBAC is "Vaginal Birth After Cesarean". This campaign is meant to give families the option of natural birth, even when a cesarean has been necessary for a past birth. Research has shown that in most cases this is safe and good for the mother and child. Birth Network welcomes your questions and support for their campaign.

Dud Hendrick, Vietnam Veteran and Professor of Peace Studies at the University of Maine, will speak on the magnitude and consequences of the U.S. military empire at the Nightbird Bookstore in Fayetteville at 6pm, Monday, April 27th. Hendrick, from Deer Isle, Maine, is President of the founding chapter of Veterans for Peace. His talk, titled “Sorrows of Empire” (borrowed from the author Chalmers Johnson*) will address, in particular, the displacement of indigenous peoples to make way for U.S. military installations abroad.
Hendrick is in Arkansas to meet and speak with Marshall Island people whose culture, economy, and health were impacted by the atomic bomb testing in the Pacific. His focus has been on the Marshallese as well as the people of Thule, Greenland and of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. In June and July of last year he had the opportunity to witness trial proceedings at the House of Lords in London when the demand for return and restitution for the Chagos of Diego Garcia was being considered. In September, he lived among and interviewed the Inughuits who had been displaced to make way for Thule Air Base, where he had been assigned as a young U.S. Air Force officer. The talk will be followed by video of some of these conversations.
Hendrick is a Naval Academy graduate and a founding member of Service Academy Graduates Against the War. In 1998, he returned to Vietnam on a healing bicycle ride from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City with other veterans from both sides of that war. He credits this transformative experience with having enabled him to appreciate the “humanity in the other”. His work is dedicated to the friendships he made on that occasion and to amplifying the voices of the victims of the U.S. military empire.

Date and Place: Saturday, May 2, 2:00-3:00 p.m. at Nightbird Books on Dickson St. (formerly Ozark Mt. Smokehouse)
