As we approach the holiday season, we can't ignore the fact that food insecurity is a repro justice issue.
The right to decide how & when to have children includes being able to raise them in a healthy, well-resourced environment. Access to food should be a fundamental right, not a privilege.

Health equity requires that economic status or insurance coverage does not determine access to essential reproductive health services.
Attacks on insurance coverage and abortion care are ramping up, but NIRH is working with our partners to fill critical funding gaps left by federal restrictions.

Midwives are the heart of birth care – guiding with compassion, strength, and joy. 🧡

Climate doulas are a vital resource that will help ensure the health of pregnant people who are navigating climate disasters or environmental challenges! As the climate crisis puts more communities at risk, these resources must be available to ensure health and safety during emergencies.
