The data is clear. Organizations like the World Health Organization consistently show that most maternal and newborn deaths are preventable—and that countries and communities with more equitable systems have far better outcomes. In a state that models deliberate neglect, Alabama Birth Equity Initiative is galvanizing a coalition of skilled birth workers and Black Midwives. As both survival and political resistance, black women's caregiving extends beyond individual households to sustain entire communities under conditions of systemic neglect. For ABEI, intersectionality is essential: the crises facing Black women in Alabama—maternal mortality, poverty, food insecurity, domestic violence—are not isolated issues but compounding systems of violence that require integrated responses.

With everything being said about birth centers right now, we want to reassure our community:

Alabama Birth Center is a member of the American Association of Birth Centers (AABC) in good standing.

This means we follow nationally recognized standards for safety and quality of care specific to birth centers. We are a safe, evidence-based option for low-risk families seeking out-of-hospital birth.

In a state facing a maternal health crisis, birth centers like ours are helping fill critical gaps in care.

Birth centers like ours are helping fill critical gaps in care for families across Alabama.

We’re here. We’re qualified. And we’re committed to safe, high-quality care for every family we serve.

At the beginning of March, Elisabeth and Dr. Robinson joined other fearless leaders of the Alabama Birth Equity Initiative in Washington, D.C. at the AMCHP Conference.

Together, they spoke on the current maternal health landscape, including the significant disparities that continue to impact outcomes across our state. While these issues affect many families, Black women are disproportionately impacted, highlighting the need for solutions that are both equitable and community-informed.

Through ABEI, five Black women-led organizations are helping lead that work. They are shaping conversations, building solutions rooted in community, and centering the voices of those most impacted.

We also discussed what it will take to improve maternal health outcomes in Alabama, including the critical role the midwifery model of care plays in expanding access and providing high-quality, personalized care.

Alongside national partners, this work is focused on expanding birth equity efforts that honor lived experience, restore autonomy, and reject one-size-fits-all care.

In the Deep South, birth equity isn’t just healthcare. It’s justice.
