✨ Holiday Closure Notice ✨

This season, we’re choosing radical rest.

From 12/23/25 the PHEI team will be stepping back to rest, restore, and reconnect. Our offices will be closed and we will reopen on 1/5/26. As an organization rooted in Black maternal health and reproductive justice, we know that rest is not optional—it’s essential.

💜Rest is care
💜Rest is sustainability
💜 Rest is how we continue this work with integrity

We hope you’re able to find moments of softness, slowness, and joy during this season, whatever rest looks like for you.

We’ll see you soon, renewed and ready for the work ahead.

We are building community led solutions. At our Wine down event attendees participated in a braintrust activity. A challenge question was posed and the group workshopped solutions in real time. This is how we co-design WITH community. This video features presenting her groups solutions.
