Join GALS and our collaborators on GALSentines Day (February 13th) as we advocate for doulas at the Texas Capital!
We are inviting Birthworkers, Families, Friends and Allies to join us in ensuring all families have access to doula care, regardless of income or insurance status.
The day will begin with GALS (and our friends) sharing about the 2025 legislative session, what bills we are excited about, and how to advocate for what you care about. After lunch, we will head to the capital and have meetings with Representative and Senators office where you can share how and why doulas make a difference.
