TESTIMONIAL

What our amazing volunteers think

The International Cesarean Awareness Network began in 1982. It was conceived from two friends supporting one another in navigating their birthing preferences and the challenges they faced in accessing respectful care. When these friends realized how powerful this specific niche of peer-to-peer support, education, and advocacy could be Esther Zorn and Elizabeth Handler wanted to share it with the world. They volunteered their time around kitchen tables, before the internet, hand-drawing logos, pasting Clarions together for print, and being available to listen while their little ones danced in the room next to them. They volunteered their talents, time, money, and energy simply because they knew how much it mattered. It would be impossible to measure the impact these choices have had, or what would be missing if they’d made a different choice. Help us continue a legacy of choosing to give to a cause that is still very much needed today, 40 years later. Bring your unique perspectives, skills, lived experiences, and passions.
