Advocacy & BIRTH JUSTICE
When we emancipate childbirth from institutional settings, we disrupt power systems that fail Black families.

Black mothers in the United States face a tragically disproportionate rate of maternal mortality compared to other mothers.
Shockingly, the national rate is 3-4 times higher than that of white mothers, and it can be as high as TEN times higher in certain urban centers. It is imperative to implement multiple interventions to address this issue.
One effective approach is the provision of culturally appropriate and community-based care by qualified Black midwives, right in the comfort of their homes. Astonishingly, only 2% of our nation’s midwives are Black, underscoring the urgent need to rally our resources and provide the necessary support for the training and empowerment of Black midwives.
Together, let's work towards changing these stats.
