We kicked off our 2024 Birth Equity Funders Summit with a Fireside Chat "Illinois Funding Birth Justice: Innovation, Collaboration, and Activation." Moderator Sona Smith of Ms. Foundation for Women, and panelists Shruti Jayaraman (Chicago Beyond), Jeanine Logan (Chicago South Side Birth Center), and Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton (State of Illinois) discussed the need for community-based models of care, run by and centered around people of color. They also discussed the progress they have made in Birth Justice and Equity in the state of Illinois.
