CFAM recognizes the harm that systematic racism plays in health outcomes for Black mothers and babies. We believe that community midwifery care can be part of the solution to devastatingly high rates of infant and maternal mortality in Black communities. But in order for midwifery care to work for Black families, white midwives need to explore, accept and change their own implicit racial bias. Just as essential, we need to institutionally support training more Black midwives to serve Black families.
CFAM challenges all allies and summons all mothers/parents to contribute funding to increase access to community midwifery and help to heal Black birth outcomes.
