Be BOLD - Birth On Labor Day
Birth On Labor Day (BOLD) is a global movement whose mission is to make maternity care more mother-friendly. I support this movement with every fiber of my being!
BOLD was started by New York playwright Karen Brody, who traveled around the United States with her successful play, Birth, in 2005 and 2006. Everywhere she went, Karen was told that a lack of choices still exists for most women giving birth today and that the current model of care for giving birth is disempowering. It touched her deeply when she was approached by mothers who told her that their hearts and souls had not been as connected to their birth experiences as they could have been. So Karen decided to do something about it.
Similar to V-Day (the brilliant and empowering global movement Until the Violence Stops created by Eve Ensler to end violence against girls and women), BOLD uses theatre to create social change. Through performances of Birth, BOLD gets communities talking about a model of maternity care that works for women. Initially, BOLD was held on Labor Day. This year, BOLD will take place in close to 40 locations around the world during the month of September, and Karen expects that there will be approximately 200 performances during this time.
