? URGENT CALL TO ACTION: Oppose HB2062 Arizona’s HB2062 will be heard by the Senate Government Committee at 10 AM on Wednesday, March 5—and we need to act NOW to stop it.

If passed, it could limit rights, restrict protections, and erase important identities from Arizona law. Take action today! Contact the senators on the Government Committee and urge them to vote NO on HB2062. Deadline: Before 10 AM on Wednesday, March 5. ?

Our Director of Marketing had the wonderful opportunity to attend the 8th Annual 4TH TRIMESTER ARIZONA Conference this weekend—along with her 7-month-old! ?? This event served as a powerful reminder that new parents don’t have to navigate the challenges of early parenthood alone. It provided connection and support for those embarking on one of life’s most demanding yet rewarding roles: raising little humans. WFSA proudly stands with 4th Trimester Arizona and its incredible partners, including Postpartum Support International, FIRST THINGS FIRST Birthworkers of Color Collective, and Southwest Human Development, in their dedication to supporting birthing people and children during the critical first five years of life. We encourage you to follow and support these organizations. If you or someone you know is currently experiencing postpartum—or will be soon—be sure to check out 4th Trimester Arizona's Village Groups! #arizonanonprofit #postaprtum #arizonawomen #arizonachildren #arizonapregnancy #womenandgirls
