Thank you @gbhforumnetwork, @MassINC, and @CWBeacon for hosting this vital conversation. A special thanks to all Wagner Foundation birth equity partners for ensuring every individual’s right to a safe and empowering pregnancy and birth experience.

[Wagner Foundation @WagnerFound]

An incredibly powerful segment by @abbydphillip and @CNN.

Their much-anticipated fundraising and development process has been slow and intensive---but that's what building things worth having sometimes take.

Beware 'charity' in equity work! Thanks to ED of @BirthCenterBOS for reminding us that our liberation is *shared*

Grateful to @BCBSMAFdn for bringing state leaders together for this conversation.
