#ClientNews: ✍ Mark your calendars The 2024 Black Birth Matters Summit: Reimagining Birth Through Collective Liberation is Saturday, October 5 in Baton Rouge. Put on by Birthmark Doula Collective, a leading voice in birth justice advocacy, Black Birth Matters is a powerful convening that will feature workshops, panel discussions, open dialogue, art, and healing, focused on the intersections of birth and social justice. All are welcome. The Black experience will be centered. Founded in October 2016, the Black Birth Matters Summit has emerged as a vital initiative to address critical issues faced by Black birthing families in Louisiana and beyond. The summit serves as a platform for collaborative strategy development, bringing together Black birth workers and allies to advocate for systemic change and improve birth outcomes. What is birth justice?  birth justice [burth juhs-tis ] noun   1.         Birth Justice is a movement that believes when birthing people recognize their innate power to make the best health decisions for themselves and their families during all stages of the pregnancy, birth, and the post-birth period, that power will have a transformational impact on their family and community.   2.         The long history of trauma and reproductive oppression that Black communities and other underserved groups have experienced is the constant force that drives and shapes the Birth Justice movement. To challenge systems of oppression, such as racism and sexism in reproductive care, Birth Justice advocates for culturally-appropriate, person-centered care while challenging disrespectful care. It also supports the sharing of knowledge amongst communities and improves access to breastfeeding support and traditional birth-workers, such as midwives and doulas.    3.         Birth Justice is a component of the reproductive justice framework. In 1994, a dozen Black women met at pro-choice conference in Chicago and constructed the concept of reproductive justice. Led by visionaries, such as Loretta J. Ross, Lynn Roberts, Erika Derkas, Whitney Peoples, and Pamela Bridgewater, reproductive justice was a direct response to the intersectional systems of power and oppression that often prevented the attainment of full health. a.         This definition is inspired by the work of Black Women’s Birth Justice, Southern Birth Justice and SisterSong.   4.         ALL BIRTHS SHOULD BE JUST BIRTHS.
