Uzazi Village provides education and support to reduce black maternal mortality, prematurity, and infant mortality. They provide doula services for free by contracting with Medicaid. They are creating a roadmap for other organizations to follow. kansascity.com/living/family/…

Black women have a painful history with breastfeeding, and it's a necessity to address their specific needs. The racial inequities built into our society make breastfeeding and lactation essential to the survival of Black moms and babies. mother.ly/news/5-reasons…

It's #Juneteenth consider donating @BlkMamasMatter "...a Black women-led cross-sectoral alliance. We center Black mamas to advocate, drive research, build power, and shift culture for Black maternal health, rights, and justice." paypal.me/BMMADonate

No Mama should have to endure the agony of being forcibly separated from their children. We stand in solidarity with all of the families + organizers on the frontlines of this fight. We must all contribute our voices to bringing this inhumanity to an end. #KeepFamilesTogether

"ACNM strongly recommends an immediate halt to forced separation and swift reunification of these families." midwife.org/ACNM-Opposes-t…

“Separating children from their parents contradicts everything we stand for as pediatricians – protecting and promoting children’s health. In fact, highly stressful experiences, like family separation, can cause irreparable harm, disrupting a child's brain architecture..." twitter.com/ameracadpeds/s…

“...to ignore the specific misogynoir Black woman and femmes experience within, and outside of the medical institutions of the United States, is to erase the history of pain and disrespect Black women’s bodies experience every day.” bit.ly/2xdxDbF #BlackMamasMatter
