JOIN US FOR NATIONAL POSTPARTUM AWARENESS WEEK 2024!!
This 7-day virtual series was co-created in 2021 and launched in 2023 by the Speak! Move! Change Collective! (@speak.move.change), a group of stakeholders in #ReproductiveJustice committed to restoring life and dignity to the birthing and postpartum experiences of Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) across the nation.
We gather to amplify and uplift the needs and the voices of BIPOC birthing people, babies & families during the #4thtrimester so that “Birthing while Black/Brown” in the United States will no longer be a death sentence. We do this by infusing each virtual session with art, ritual, ceremony, information, discourse and interactive activities.
Through the combined power of Collective Action, Anti-Racism and Decolonization, this campaign raises awareness about the inequitable and unacceptable impact of systemic and institutional racism during pregnancy, birth and #postpartum. JOIN US!
DATES: Sun, May 5th to Sat, May 11th 2024
TIME: 7:00pm to 9:30pm EST each night
