Racial Equity

This webinar from Black Mamas Matter Alliance, Inc. (BMMA) and the Alliance for Early Success explores how the Black perinatal workforce operates under the principles of Birth Justice and Reproductive Justice framework, how they interact with the current political landscape, and how advocates can utilize BMMA’s policy priorities to advance care for postpartum families.

Early childhood and reproductive justice advocates share a vision that parents nurture their children in safe and healthy environments. Both movements value family decision-making, community knowledge and leadership, and policy change. Together, early childhood and reproductive justice advocates can create a world in which maternal and child health are optimized and families with young children live in thriving communities. This webinar explores the history and origins of the reproductive justice movement, reviews of the structural and systemic policy impacts on Prenatal-to-3, and names the mutual values and priorities shared with early childhood advocates.
