A Conversation with Katy Cecen from The Movement to Birth Liberation
Join us for a conversation with midwife Katy Cecen, founder of The Movement to Birth Liberation. In an effort to return to CEA/MNY’s roots in advocacy we want to begin a conversation with our members to think about what our priorities and values are for the future of childbirth education, and how we can work together with other like-minded groups to lobby for their inclusion in The New York Health Act and other future legislation. Don’t miss the opportunity to take part in this critical conversation and shape our organization’s role in this movement.

CEA/MNY 45th Anniversary with Barbara Katz Rothman
Special Event
A Bun in the Oven: Exploring Self-Advocacy in Birth and Parenting
CEA/MNY in partnership with the 14th Street Y's Parenting, Family, and Early Childhood Center is thrilled to welcome renowned author and sociologist, Barbara Katz Rothman, to discuss self-advocacy in birth and parenting.
Barbara Katz Rothman will share ideas from her new book, A Bun in the Oven, diving into the parallels between the food and birth movements and how they both work to resist industrialization of a family-centered part of life. Our discussion will explore the role that childbirth educators and birth workers can play in advancing self-advocacy among new parents.
