Happy DAF Day!

Through events like our recent Prison Birth Simulation, we’re bringing awareness to the realities of childbirth while incarcerated and creating conversations that inspire change.

This DAF Day, you can help us continue this important work by supporting Ostara Initiative through your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF).

Every contribution helps us move toward a future rooted in dignity, compassion, and care. 💜

🤱August is National Breastfeeding Month.
Breastfeeding and chestfeeding are about more than feeding a baby; they’re supported by connection, care, and community 💛
At Ostara Initiative, we believe that birth justice means every parent deserves the resources, dignity, and support they need to nourish their baby.

🙌🏽 We are aiming to raise $4.5 million to build the nation’s first ever Mother Baby House.

What is the Mother Baby House?
It’s a place where women who are incarcerated don’t have to be separated from their babies… where they get the care they need in an environment that doesn’t perpetuate the harms that prisons do today.

We aim to focus on nurturing babies first 2,000 days of life so that we can stop cycles of generational trauma and abuse.

Join us by making your contribution today!

It’s just as important to think about what comes next. 🌞
Birth justice asks us to imagine the future, and then work together to build it. 🪏🌱

We know many community members have not considered what it means when someone enters prison pregnant.

A pregnant person who is incarcerated will often go through pre and perinatal processes detatched from the support systems most of us take for granted.

Many will be separated from their newborn shortly after birth. This prison birth experience creates a maternal and child health crisis that needs transformative solutions to address.

Every parent deserves dignity. Every baby deserves connection.
