Our Story

Birthworkers of Color Collective was born from the need to challenge systemic racism, medical violence, and erasure in reproductive care. What started as a local community grassroots project in Long Beach, CA has blossomed into a non-profit organization with members across the globe.

Your generous donation makes it possible for us to grow, to resist and to reinvest directly back into the communities we love.

Despite recent cuts to critical healthcare services and ongoing threats to reproductive and maternal health, we remain committed to providing accessible, culturally relevant training and supportive care that centers the needs of marginalized communities wherever they exist.

Proud Moments

over 700 doulas trained from Long Beach to Guam
Grown from volunteer-run to eight BWOCC team members
Hosted ten abortion doula trainings since Roe overturned
Approved Medicaid/Medi-Cal doula training in California, Michigan, Maryland, with more states coming soon.
