In 2017, Republican politicians in Iowa stripped funding from Planned Parenthood, causing clinics to close, and access to birth control, STD and cancer testing to plummet. We already had one of the worst ratios of OB/GYN’s to women in the entire country. Immediately after, we lost 22 labor and delivery units and maternal mortality rose. Because of systemic racism, this crisis is especially bad for communities of color.
LaTasha Deloach is one of the leaders fighting to protect reproductive freedom for all Iowans. At the Black Women’s Maternal Health Collective, LaTasha is working to create access and provide education to support diverse birth families here in Iowa. Her work is incredibly important, and I can’t wait for you to hear from her directly at our event. You will also be able to donate to her organization at the event.
