-Communicating the vision and solutions of community birth center experts and leaders to serve, inspire, and guide everyone. When we communicate with these narrative energizers we contribute to birthing people – especially severely underserved Black, Indigenous, people of color communities – feeling empowered and connected, and to greater investment in birth centers, particularly consistently under-resourced BIPOC community-led solutions.
-Communicating that birth centers are anchors for community wellness and community health infrastructure. When we communicate with these narrative energizers we contribute to everyone – especially Black, Indigenous, people of color communities – seeking out and demanding birth centers, to birth centers being seen as a crucial part of a vibrant health care system, to birth centers being seen as core to rich community culture, and to resources to birth centers becoming a top priority.
-Communicating that we have the power to reimagine and rebuild systems of care. That the present birth care system is recent and left behind much of the best practices and wisdom of care. When we communicate with these narrative energizes we contribute to birthing people feeling invited into learning about best practices and wisdom and system transformation, resources directed at birth centers because they are transforming systems around best practices and wisdom, care options expanding and people feeling powerful in making real change.
