Birth Equity Laws - Implementation!

As discussed in the Birth Equity Bill Package blog post, our ambitious set of legislation has been signed into law. And with it - lots of implementation work begins.

To facilitate that work we have been hosting various community meetings. Check out our Events Page for the latest meetings you can join! Consider reading the above blog post to get a sense of what the bill process was like and what was in the bills.

And we know this is just the beginning, if you have additional ideas for policy solutions, please share them here: bit.ly/birthequityideas

We also have recordings of these introductory meetings to help people get oriented to participation.
