Quote: My vision for birth equity requires moving away from a disparities paradigm to one where the collective wisdom of Black women and birthing people serve as a North Star, guiding researchers to more holistic, culturally-rich, and relevant work that elevates the whole of our humanity, addresses issues as we define them, and serves to profit our community.
It is with heavy hearts that we share an important update with you regarding the future of Reproductive Health Impact: The Collaborative for Equity & Justice (RH Impact).
After careful consideration and an exhaustive search for viable alternatives, the Executive Leadership of RH Impact, along with its fiscal sponsor The Praxis Project, Inc., have made the very difficult decision to close the organization and cease operations due to insufficient unrestricted funding to support general operations—including staff salaries.
As a result, RHI’s final day of operations will officially be July 31, 2024.
