We have a maternal health crisis in our country. Black birthing people are dying at vastly disproportionate rates during and after childbirth with systemic racism being a significant factor. Black families deserve to thrive and feel joy as they welcome a child into the world. Campaign Organizer and Black Midwife, Gingi Allen writes "Midwives are working hard to change birth outcomes for marginalized families through [birthing person]-centered, individualized holistic care. This work does make a difference, especially when the midwife looks and shares the same lived experience as the [birthing person they support]. You can help ensure many births are free from the numerous challenges that families of color and their midwives face during these times. Your donation to The Black Bay Area Birth Fund can create a safe space for a family in need." Simply put, because ALL BLACK LIVES MATTER. BLACK MAMAS MATTER. BLACK PARENTS MATTER. BLACK CHILDREN MATTER. BLACK FAMILIES MATTER.
