Birth centers are the only facilities based in the midwifery model of care, yet less than 10% of U.S. birth centers are BIPOC-led. BMMA's policy agenda calls for equal reimbursement rates and dedicated funding for Black-led birth centers. We appreciate Birth Center Equity for leading this work!

Health equity cannot be achieved without racial equity. Across Latin America and the Caribbean, Afrodescendent women are 3-4x more likely to die during childbirth. This isn't biological risk, it's structural, and it's preventable. Our health is our right! #AcrossBorders #AfricanDescentDay
