On March 23rd, to counter the anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ+ 'Gift of Life Walk,' a broad swath of New York organizations will come together in Foley Square to talk about how our movements and struggles intersect and show NYC that our bodies and our futures are ours alone.

Join us!

Gov Hochul, please meet with us & sign the #GrievingFamiliesAct today
It has been 6 days since we hand-delivered a letter. thank you

Give @GovKathyHochul a call and let her know- we need the #GrievingFamiliesAct signed into law!!

[saveArose Foundation @savearose]

@GovKathyHochul, we know you have met with medical & insurance industry special interests. We believe you have a duty to all grieving NYers to hear our stories too.

Gov Hochul, please meet with us & sign the #GrievingFamiliesAct today.

Not sure what kind of "health equity" @NYAMNYC is going for but Dr. Riley's been ignoring concerns from bedside staff since day 1. At LEAST 3 Black women have died preventably giving birth @sunydownstate during his tenure, 1 recently of untreated TB after a prolonged stay...

[Office of the Public Advocate Jumaane D. Williams @nycpa]

Too often, Black mothers’ pain is not believed, plans are not adhered to, and lives are being put in danger.

While the city has made progress for Black birthing people, it is clearly not enough, or Christine Fields would still be with us today.
