The California Black Birth Justice Agenda seeks to amplify and uplift coordinated, strategic actions to advance birth justice for Black Californians, and subsequently Californians of all races and ethnicities. This agenda is a tool and a call to action for everyone–including our policymakers, health systems, health insurance plans, community-based organizations, professional associations, and more. 

​

The Black Birth Justice agenda is not just another strategic report but was created to be an actionable, shared set of strategies. Our goal is to mobilize partners across the state to implement these key actions. 

​

Key Considerations

The actions we set forth in this agenda primarily address strategies for systemic change in the healthcare and public health domains. These actions are not meant to be an exhaustive list of solutions but can be considered foundational elements on which to build longer-term, upstream, sustainable solutions.
