The Citizens for Midwifery website has some useful documents for the sorts of things you want to do at http://cfmidwifery.org/advocacy/. They also have an article specifically on writing complaint letters at http://cfmidwifery.org/Resources/Item.aspx?ID=1. As far as win-win negotiating goes, you can't do better than Getting to Yes, a classic in the field.
In my own community, Bay Area Birth Information, (BABI), (http://www.bayareabirthinfo.org/), one of the CIMS/Lamaze Birth Networks, has an annual BABI fair. The 3rd annual one is coming up, and it has grown every year. Besides exhibits, they have activities and food, and free mini-talks on various topics that go on during the day. The Santa Cruz Birth Network (http://www.birthnet.org/index.php) holds quarterly Pregnancy Information Nights. Two women have opened Harmony, a birth resources center (http://www.harmonybirth.com/). Various classes are held there. A marriage and family counselor who specializes in perinatal mood disorders has her office there. They just expanded their space, and a lactation consultant will now have office space there too.
