BHC JUSTICE: MLK Weekend “Birthing Justice” Sunday, January 14 1:00-4:00 p.m. Baltimore Hebrew Congregation, 7401 Park Heights Ave.
In observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, BHC Justice is partnering with other congregations and organizations in the Baltimore area for our 7th annual moving screening, panel, and talkback. This year’s event will feature the film “Birthing Justice,” an award-winning documentary that features the lived experiences of Black women and their advocates. This film explains and explores the racial disparities that exist in the United States in maternal health care: Black women in the United States are 4 times more likely to die during childbirth than white women. The documentary examines the inequitable structures and systems that have resulted in this racial disparity, as well as the movement to fix this broken system. Our panel will feature speakers from MOMCares. MOMCares is a postpartum Doula Program, designed to support Black mothers in the NICU who self-identify as under-supported and facing financial stressors. This event is free. Babysitting will be available. Light refreshments will be served. Please direct questions to Jacob Mishook, jacobmishook@gmail.com.
