Black Maternal Health Week: Support for all Stages of the Maternal Journey

Our grantee partners remain committed to supporting Black mothers and pregnant people during their pregnancy and childbirth process. Movement for Family Power, is a Black-led movement organization that works to end the policing and punishment of families. Centering Black mamas, MFP builds the capacity of directly impacted leaders and grassroots organizations to abolish the family policing system and to create a world where all families can thrive.

MFP is a founding member of the New York Informed Consent Coalition, which seeks to “promote trust between healthcare providers and birthing people, improve maternal and infant health outcomes, and support racial and reproductive justice by ensuring that no pregnant person or newborn is subjected to a drug test or screen without their informed consent.”
