Southern Birth Justice Network is an organization working to expand access to midwifery and doula ca Midwifery care is holistic, healing, and humanistic.

In spite of an increasingly violent medical environment, midwifery care creates space to have safe, gentle, and empowered birth experiences. It has rich herstory, legacy, and roots in communities of color. Our vision for Mobile Midwife is to make this care accessible and central to all, especially Black, Brown, immigrant, indigenous, q***r, transgender, low-income and other marginalized communities.

Across oceans, we carry a shared history, a shared responsibility, and so much to learn from one another. 🤎🌍

The East African Cultural Birth Worker Exchange is an opportunity to strengthen relationships across the diaspora, exchange knowledge, and build connections rooted in the wisdom of our communities.

We’re excited to share this journey with you. Follow along as our team connects with birthworkers and community partners in Kenya and Tanzania, learning from one another and imagining what’s possible when we build together.

The work of birth justice has no borders. ✨

The Mobile Midwife Clinic is on the move! 🚍

We’re bringing community-centered maternal health care directly to neighborhoods across Miami. Check out our October schedule and come find us at one of this month’s clinic locations.

Families can access prenatal and postpartum care, lactation support, wellness checks, maternal health consultations, and more, through free and low-cost services rooted in community.

🗓️ Save this calendar for later and follow along for any schedule updates throughout the month.

We’re grateful to our partners at Quest Diagnostics for helping us expand access to care and bring these services directly into the communities we serve.

Because this is more than a clinic. It’s community care in action. 💛

Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to honor the richness of the diaspora and the communities whose stories have helped shape Miami. 🤎

From Little Havana to Hialeah and neighborhoods across South Florida, Hispanic and Latinx communities have built homes, raised families, cared for one another, and made Miami what it is today.

And this year, celebrating that heritage feels especially important. At a time when immigrant communities are facing heightened scrutiny and too many families are being made to feel like they don’t belong, we’re reminded that birth justice must include the right to feel safe, respected, and at home in the communities we call home.

We’re proud to celebrate the families, cultures, and communities that continue to shape South Florida.

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month. 🤎

This is Birth Center Week 2026!!

A time to celebrate the power of community birth and the people who make it possible. Birth centers are proven to deliver better outcomes for families, especially Black and Brown ones, who too often face harm and disrespect in hospital settings.

This week, we honor the movement that has fought for birth justice, and we honor the creators Birth Center Equity (BCE) who built this campaign and keep pushing it forward.

And in Miami, we’re building that future right now. 🧱

SBJN is building Miami’s very first nonprofit birth center, built by our people, for our people. Demolition is complete and the foundation is being built. This is real, visible progress, and it’s happening because of community.

Less than 10% of established birth centers in the US are led by Black, Indigenous, and people of color.
We’re changing that , starting right here in Miami. 🌴

But we can’t finish alone. Every donation goes directly toward building and renovating the birth center that will serve our community for generations, a space where Black, Brown, and Indigenous families can birth with dignity, supported by people who look like them and love them.

You can donate by clicking the link in our bio at

Every dollar moves us closer. Thank you for showing up like we show up for each other. 🤍
