Birth Justice Landscape Analysis

This resource was created by Elephant Circle.

The Birth Justice Landscape Analysis paints a picture of the who, what, when, where, how, and why of birth justice in the United States. This landscape analysis is, first and foremost, for funders to help direct the windfall of support for birth justice so that it can be equitable and effective.

Over the past few years, heightened attention on birth justice has opened new pathways for engagement with and investment in birth justice work, but the ensuing flow of resources has not been evenly distributed, nor has it been clear that funding intended to do “birth justice” work has flowed to those genuinely aligned with birth justice values (In fact, one could ask: what is birth justice?). As a result, some of us have scaled up and experienced transformational growth, but many among us remain unseen and unsupported.
