PLEASE READ:
As an organization under USBC (United States Breastfeeding Committee) and a part of our unending efforts to decrease inequities in Appalachia, part of our duty is to follow a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policy, which is also compiled by examples from one of USBC's funders, W.K. Kellogg foundation. More information can be found here: http://www.usbreastfeeding.org/equity
Because of this, Appalachian Breastfeeding Network is dedicated to applying an equity lens to all things we produce or participate in, including our upcoming annual conference.
This includes, but is not limited to:
- Respecting personal pronouns of those who may not identify as cisgender. These are parents that are lactating and needing supporting, just as women and mothers do. You will receive a personal pronoun guide at the conference, provided by USBC and provided to our speakers and our attendees. If you'd like this guide previous to the conference, please e-mail Stephanie Carroll at wicmom1129@gmail.com for your copy.
- Including marginalized groups while discussing every topic. I.e. How is this relevant to all groups by applying a racial equity lens? How does this pertain to the LGBTQ+ community?, and so on.
-Not making assumptions
-Including disabled parents in our conversations
-Knowing when to step up and to step back. In places where we would usually speak up; listen. In places where we would usually keep our voices down; speak up.
- Being respectful of all groups.
* Note, by complying with these regulations, we make this an enjoyable, safe community for all listeners and those that we serve. We are not excluding any one group and welcome all.
Our membership is a yearly membership from October 1 thru September 30 and will cost $20.
