OUR People
Elephant Circle has grown to a team of 15 — midwives, lawyers, organizers, researchers, doulas & parents committed to birth justice.
At Elephant Circle, you’ll often hear us say
“two people make a line- three make a circle.” We believe that the best decisions are made in a circle of thought-partnership, which in turn fosters community buy-in and accountability. Our team’s intimate collaboration with community members and advocates ensures that our activities and practices are carried out with integrity, and with community oversight and accountability.
