UPDATE:

Michele's spouse was in a very bad car wreck resulting in a fractured right hip. After many, many images of their hips & pelvis, it was decided that surgery wasn't the best course of action, but instead physical therapy, non-weight bearing for at least 6 weeks, & then weight bearing increased by 25% each week from then on was the better course of action. It was also discovered that their spouse has some heart problems that are being tended to now. We will update as possible. The family is incredibly grateful for all the support thus far.✨

Please join us in supporting one of our board members, colleague, & friend Michele (Misha) James-Parham & their family as the family navigates this crisis. Help us come through for a beloved community member & their family by donating, dropping off food, and sharing in your networks.

Restorative Reproductive Justice is providing Black communities with a Traditional Black Midwife; it is correcting the injustice done by intentionally eliminating a crucial safety net for Black and Brown Birthing people, families, and community members. Restorative Reproductive Justice is funding a Traditional Black Q***r Midwife serving communities disproportionately carrying the weight of poor outcomes.

We only need 250 more people to pledge $30 a month (or 750 people to pledge $10 per month) to take the first actionable step towards birth equity.
