Navigating Birth Justice and Reproductive Equity in Precarious Times: Insights, Challenges, and Strategies for Funders

Virtual

The birth justice and reproductive equity landscape in the U.S. has continued to shift following the 2022 Dobbs ruling, which overturned Roe v. Wade. In addition to reduced abortion access, communities, birthing people, and the partners working with them are facing growing challenges to reproductive and perinatal care—including uncertainty around Medicaid and other public funding critical to sustaining services. 

This webinar will bring together health funders to share insights, experiences, and challenges encountered while supporting this work in an evolving landscape. The discussion will focus on how s funders are navigating the legal, policy, and funding changes and their investments that center the dignity, safety, and autonomy of birthing people and their communities. 

Please note this webinar will not be recorded as we want this to be a safe space for a candid discussion.
