There is a mistaken perception that pregnancy and postpartum health are niche issues.
And that investing in infants is only something for new parents and healthcare providers.
In fact, perinatal equity is the most universally impactful cause. Whether you care about racial justice or the environment or economic stability or academic advancement, all of it starts in the first moments of life. By creating equitable systems and structures that support new and expectant parents, we are preventing inequities later in life and establishing the building blocks of a thriving society.
And we can’t do it alone.
