Open Letter: National Call for Birth Justice and Accountability

By Every Mother Counts
Added: December 28, 2020
ActPartner Content

In the United States, women are more likely to die from complications of pregnancy and birth than in any other high-resource country. Black and Indigenous women are 2 to 3 times more likely than white women to die. Leaders, organizations, and allies in the birth and reproductive justice movements are calling for accountability, birth justice and legal guarantees for safe, respectful anti-racist care.
