Good evening supporters, 

I just want to send a personal message thanking each and every one of you for taking a leap and signing this petition exactly one year ago. With your incredible support we managed a swift victory, tipping the scales within a years-old debate between the policy makers at Facebook and Instagram. THANK YOU for being part of history with me. 

While the policy change has since been written into Facebook's community guidelines and we are seeing a lot more uncensored content stay up, I'm still hearing from people regularly who are having their content inappropriately censored. To a certain extent, this is to be expected as FB/IG's massive algorithms learn to distinguish nudity in childbirth; however, my commitment to you is that I will schedule another follow-up call with Facebook to get the latest on why so many people are still having problems, and if there's anything that can be done about it in the meantime. 

I recently launched Empowered Birth Project's newsletter, where I will be providing more regular updates on this and other general news about the project. Feel free to join via the website www.empoweredbirthproject.com 

Thank you all again for everything. There is much work still to be done, but we have changed the course of history! 

Sincerely,

Katie Vigos
