Radical Childbirth
Sunday, 3:45-5:15
Judson Meeting Room

In this workshop, we will explore childbirth from a radical feminist, DIY perspective. Today, many women resist the dominant, patriarchal view of childbirth in a variety of ways, both big and small. This workshop will examine the history of childbirth in America and will show folks, especially those who are parents or think they may want kids in the future, ways to reclaim childbirth and parenting. We will go over pain relief techniques, natural childbirth and reproductive justice, alternatives to hospital birth, and labor support. These tools are useful in creating childbirth alternatives to capitalist medical systems that encourage viewing the female body as "pathology."

Erica Varlese is an organizer that lives in DC. She is a member of the Dream City Collective, a worker-run collective that is fundraising to open a radical space in DC. Erica also works at the National Abortion Federation, an organization that provides funding to low-income women who need assistance paying for abortions, and volunteers as a doula at the Family Health and Birth Center in DC. She's also busy nursing an addiction to "16 and Pregnant" and hanging out with her pet bunny.
