On March 23rd, to counter the anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ+ 'Gift of Life Walk,' a broad swath of New York organizations will come together in Foley Square to talk about how our movements and struggles intersect and show NYC that our bodies and our futures are ours alone.

Not sure what kind of "health equity" @NYAMNYC is going for but Dr. Riley's been ignoring concerns from bedside staff since day 1. At LEAST 3 Black women have died preventably giving birth @sunydownstate during his tenure, 1 recently of untreated TB after a prolonged stay...

Too often, Black mothers’ pain is not believed, plans are not adhered to, and lives are being put in danger.
While the city has made progress for Black birthing people, it is clearly not enough, or Christine Fields would still be with us today.
