Advocacy

I Be Black Girl believes policy is a driver for change within our approach to reproductive justice. Policy has historically been weaponized against Black communities. As a result, we are committed to building Black political power to address the harm and chart a new experience of legislation that centers Black women, femmes and girls.

Birth Justice

Using a Collective Action Framework, I Be Black Girl is catalyzing a movement to disrupt the systems that perpetuate incidence of maternal morbidity, mortality and traumatic care experiences using strategies that center the voices, experiences, and leadership of Black women and Black birthing people. We deserve to not just live through our birthing experiences but thrive.

Economic Justice

This country has spent countless decades depriving Black people of economic security, abundance and dignity, leading to a scarcity mindset rooted in injustice. I Be Black Girl’s priority is to abolish pay equity gaps and work to give Black women, femmes and girls the ability to live whole, abundant lives.

Black Girls Lead is a one-day summit designed to empower Black girls and femmes ages 14-19 across the state to explore their leadership potential and build community-based movements.
