The Rooted Doula Collective joins the cries from across the world to end the ongoing genocide and apartheid of the people of Falastin (Palestine) by the Zionist forces of Israel. As care/birth workers and reproductive justice advocates, we affirm the humanity, dignity, and rights of Palestinians.

As a collective, we center the experiences of all Black pregnant people and their families.

I first came across the concept of reproductive justice as I was reading “The Doula Project: Radical Care for Pregnant People” as I was beginning my doula training over two years ago.
