In April 2017, the Birth Equity Community Council (BECC) began intentional community engaged dialogues, with a commitment to a collaborative process where action steps address individual, community and system level interventions and promote racial healing and equity in birth outcomes. In continuation with BECC’s commitment towards birth equity the completion of 2019 and early 2020 brought about further engagement with community members and Partners, envisioning victories focusing on three main areas: training, celebrations, and policy to drive the collaborative’s work for 2020-2023.
