“We are investing in and partnering with Chicago South Side Birth Center because they are a powerful founder-led organization addressing an unmet health care need in our under-resourced communities.

They know the issues, the best ways to address them, and will have a positive impact on the health of community members for generations to come. We need more organizations like Chicago South Side Birth Center and our support of Jeanine and her team will have an outsized impact on the furtherance of birth justice.”
