About our movement
Who we are
We’re your neighbors. We’re moms, dads, and parents-to-be. We are people who care deeply about preserving safe & accessible maternal healthcare close to home and ensuring growth for the future of our community.
Our Guiding Principles
We organize transparently.
Our work is collaborative, community-driven, and open. We have nothing to hide and seek to be invitational.
We seek partnership, not conflict.
We want to work with Miles and MaineHealth in a solution-focused way, while still bringing the force and urgency this issue deserves.
We focus on MaineHealth leadership, not on Miles.
MaineHealth has made clear that this decision will be made at their Board of Trustees level.
We think bigger than the status quo.
Why settle for preserving what existed when we could help create a premier rural birthing center at Miles? Let's dream big.
We are bipartisan.
Families of every political persuasion depend on local maternity care.
We take care of one another.
This work can be emotional, especially for those who are pregnant, parenting, or sharing deeply personal experiences. Community comes first.
