We build local and national networks to achieve our vision of birth justice. Inspired by elephants who give birth within a circle of support, we envision a world where all people have a circle like that. Here’s how we strive to make that world a reality.
We engage with national organizations, their leadership, and their membership to strengthen and expand their reproductive justice work. We organize consumers around legislative and policy issues that impact the lives of Colorado families.
We have worked with people & organizations including:
Colorado Organization for Latina Opportunity and Reproductive Rights
Colorado Birth Center Coalition
Incarcerated Survivors Initiating Social Change
We have worked on campaigns to:
Eliminate the shackling of incarcerated people during labor and birth.
Maintain access to direct-entry midwives
Prevent the elimination of out-of-hospital VBAC
Increase access and equity in the profession of midwifery
Oppose dangerous state intervention in the lives of people who have a family member involved in substance use or abuse.
