A new film explores the maternal health crisis within the African American community in Missouri, California, Washington, DC, and Augusta, GA. Birthing Justice flips the victim-blaming narrative, centering the lived experiences of Black women and their advocates as they fix a broken system and transform the future, one birth at a time. It includes interviews with birthing individuals, healthcare providers, and those on the forefront of advancing policy change.

Jamaa Birth Village and Washington University will host a free screening and panel discussion of the film on Saturday, April 15, from 11 am–3 pm, at Washington University, Brown School of Public Health. Register here.
