Southern Birth Justice Network

Creators of the Birth Justice Framework, SBJN aligns deeply with movements for reproductive justice across the globe. Offering both a clinical and spiritual lens, Southern Birth Justice Network is comprised of Black, Brown and Indigenous midwives, doulas, activists and healers, who cultivate intuitive and cultural knowledge to support families and communities.

We believe that midwifery care is holistic, healing, and humanistic. It has a rich herstory and legacy in communities of color. 

Our vision is to make this care accessible to all peoples- especially Black, Brown, youth, immigrant, indigenous, LGBTQ+, low- income and other marginalized communities. 

Our mission is to expand Birth Justice by using story telling, popular education, and community organizing to improve access to midwifery and doula care.
