Today, April 20, bloggers and websites across the nation … including Beyond Blue … will be advocating for the passage of The Melanie Blocker Stokes MOTHERS Act by writng, blogging, and sending alerts asking their readers to:
* Call your Senator! to expression your support for S324
* Add your name! to the state by state constituent petition, a list that will be presented to U.S. Senators the week of Mother’s Day!
Per Susan Stone Dowd Stone of Postpartum Support International:
The list of national endorsers – which has grown to become one of the most extensive American bipartisan endorsements ever assembled – also includes major family foundations formed by those who have lost loved ones to the ravages of untreated or improperly treated birth or postpartum mood disorders. Devastated families who turned their agony into advocacy… by raising awareness and helping to prevent these tragedies from happening to others. They know that passage of The Melanie Blocker Stokes MOTHERS Act is the next step needed to meet this goal!
