OVERVIEW.

The Cultural Engagement Lab seeks to advocate for the passage of critical Maternal Health legislation in alignment with our sister Organization CCP’s Gender Justice and Health Equity Program and in collaboration with MomsRising, We Testify, The Ariah Foundation,National Birth Equity Collaborative, and Inspire Justice Productions. Seeking to amplify the voices of Black mamas and birth/womb justice we are invested in using storytelling to support bodily autonomy, while also calling on federal government and local officials to pass the Momnibus Act.

WHY.

Black women are three times more likely to die from pregnancy related deaths than white women due to socioeconomic, racial and stress factors. The U.S. has the worst maternal health outcomes amongst leading nations. Most of these deaths are preventable}.
