Become a Lactivist, Join the Collective
Our collective membership is open to anyone who has a passion for providing care or sponsorship to families who need it most. Our Collective Membership is open to parents, caregivers, healthcare professionals, doulas, educators, and community advocates alike.
Every family deserves care and support they can trust, and building a lactation culture takes a village. A Lactivist is a person who strongly advocates for lactation care and chestfeeding support.
