Dear supporter,
I'd like to thank you personally for signing the petition to establish legally enforceable caps on midwives' safe working hours. Here's what you've made happen in less than two weeks:
- nearly 12000 signatures on the petition, and climbing!
- the attention and support of MPs
- two pieces in the press, and two more still to come
- features on maternity safety on the BBC and Sky News
Please keep the momentum going by continuing to share the petition across your social media and local networks: in WhatsApp groups, on the school run, at work or with family members. We don't need umpteen maternity safety inquiries to tell us the service is broken. We need real, deliverable change...and this is a great first step.
With all best wishes and thanks for your continued support,
Leah
