About this Event

Empower Your Voice. Drive Policy. Create Change.

Join us for a pivotal half-day event dedicated to transforming Black birth outcomes through focused policy and advocacy. The California Black Birth Equity Summit Advocacy Roundtable brings together the key stakeholders—researchers, elected officials, and community advocates—to move beyond discussion and into action.

This is a unique opportunity to directly engage in meaningful dialogue about policy solutions needed to address the systemic inequities in California's Black birth care.

What to Expect:

This is not a lecture—it's a learning and working session. Designed to teach, empower, and facilitate community building, this roundtable will provide a unique opportunity to connect and be heard by elected officials.

  • Interactive Learning: Participate in hands-on session to build fundational Advocacy 101 skills and knowledge.
  • Expert Speakers: Learn from leading voices who will share insights on current policies and how federal initiatives are impacting Black birth care at the CA state and local levels.
  • Collaborative Brainstorming: Connect with fellow attendees to collectively brainstorm and develop actionable next steps for post-Summit advocacy.
  • Bridge the Gap: This is your chance to directly hear from elected officials and bridge the gap between research, advocacy, and policy-making.

Why This Matters

We believe that every member of the community has a role to play in shaping the policies that affect their lives. The current state of Black birth equity demands our collective action. This roundtable is a step toward greater transparency and a commitment to pushing this critical work forward together.

You will leave feeling:

  • Empowered: Confident that you have a place and a purpose in impacting the policies that affect your community.
  • Equipped: Knowing there is something tangible you can do and having the resources to help you do it.
  • Connected: A part of a powerful coalition of advocates, researchers, and policymakers dedicated to a shared mission.
