JustBirth Space is a virtual perinatal support space that offers free, compassionate, and responsive support for pregnant and parenting individuals in New York City and northern New Jersey. Based on the expertise of community-based doula programs and grounded in anti-racist models of care, JustBirth Space puts the principles of birth justice into practice by humanizing virtual care in order to address the systems and structures that lead to racial disparities in maternal health outcomes. JustBirth Space exemplifies how programs can create adaptive community-driven solutions and equitable partnerships to address the heightened needs associated with the COVID-19 pandemic but reflect the longstanding inequities in our maternity care delivery system.
