On July 27 and 28 at Hofstra University in Hempstead, NY we trained the first ever cohort of Birth Justice Warriors. A total of 16 women whose backgrounds included nursing, doulas, midwives, breastfeeding educators, pastors and community members came together to learn about reproductive justice, the need for birth equity in Nassau County, background on black infant mortality and maternal mortality, as well as how to frame our messages to the media.
