Birth justice advocates from around the state are working to address systemic racism in our perinatal health system, by increasing access to midwifery care and centering communities as leaders in our own care. Legislative barriers are limiting the reach of this crucial work. 
 
Mothering Justice and Birth Detroit, with support from Elephant Circle and SisterSong, have convened a series of community town hall conversations on the state of birth justice in Michigan and developed a short survey to invite input from communities across Michigan. This survey will help us learn about maternal health challenges, solutions, ideas and questions across Michigan’s diverse geographies, communities and life experiences to inform strategies for change. 

If you are over 18 and live in Michigan, this survey is for you. Survey questions focus on maternal health issues, care, access and policy. There are no wrong answers. You can skip any questions you do not want to answer.

The survey takes less than 10 minutes. All answers are anonymous. Thank you!
