Our friends at Southern Birth Justice Network (SBJN) have been nominated for The Weight Watchers Wellness Impact Award!
Please join us in casting your vote for them today!
Each vote will help them win a $15,000 grant to support their birth justice educational programs and birthing communities. Voting closes May 9th, 2022 and winners are announced June 8th, 2022.
SBJN works to narrow the dangerous disparities in maternal health and reduce maternal mortality by improving access to midwifery and doula care for Black mothers. They support these communities throughout the birth cycle, from preconception to postpartum care.
"At the center of our theory of change is Birth Justice, which is a framework to shift the current obstetric violence culture of birth toward one centered on bodily autonomy and human rights, particularly for marginalized pregnant, birthing and parenting people.”
– Nerlande Joseph, Birth Worker
