[From the Archives of Our Bodies, Our Blog](/blog)# Be BOLD for a Good Cause

By Christine Cupaiuolo • March 25, 2008

Please note: This entry -- originally posted at [Our Bodies, Our Blog](https://ourbodiesourselves.org/blog) -- has not been updated since the publication date listed above.

BOLD is a very cool media arts/birth advocacy group that's trying to [win a $10,000 grant](http://www.ideablob.com/ideas/1748-BOLD-Improving-) from [Ideablob.com](http://www.ideablob.com).  
  
The organization's play, "Birth," is performed each year on, you guessed it, Labor Day. Here's more about BOLD, from founder Karen Brody:  
  
> BOLD's mission is to be a global movement to make maternity care mother-friendly through education, truth and action. While it was sparked by performances of my play, Birth, to inspire change BOLD is now much more than my play. \[...\] At all our BOLD events we're using the arts to educate, tell the truth and take action around maternity care so that birthing options are mother-friendly. Through each event communities take a serious look at how to improve the birthing climate for pregnant mothers. What do mothers want? What do they deserve? What mother-friendly solutions are out there? These are some of the questions BOLD is asking.
