Equity in Midwifery Education: Weaving Strength For the Future of Midwifery by Farrah Rivera

As a community midwife, educator, and member of the NACPM Board, I hold a deep reverence for the midwifery profession. This monumental work is often a calling rooted in ancestral knowing, advocacy, and often without recognition for the time and weight this profession carries.

We are excited to announce the launch of a National Workforce and Compensation Survey designed specifically for midwives who have passed the NARM exam. Whether you attend one birth a year or serve a full client load, your experience matters deeply—and we need your voice to build a clear, accurate picture of our profession.

The National Association of Certified Professional Midwives (NACPM) honors and mourns the silencing of generations of Indigenous, Black, immigrant, enslaved, religious and rural midwives whose wisdom, devotion, and embodied care sustained families and communities long before midwifery was institutionalized in the United States. Their knowledge was not lost, but suppressed by colonization, by the rise of medical dominance, and by systems rooted in white supremacy. And yet, that wisdom persists. It lives on in ancestral memory, community care, and the ongoing resistance of midwives who continue to serve outside the bounds of state and institutional recognition.

We are proud to announce that the National Association of Certified Professional Midwives (NACPM) has been awarded $150,000 per year for two years in partnership with Primary Maternity Care (PMC) to expand the Step Up Together® program across the country—with a specific focus on Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs).
