The Birthing Project USA is among the most important non-profit organizations I support, and its importance has grown exponentially in an era when government programs that aid expectant mothers, particularly women of color, are under assault, or cut back or eliminated. The very existence of this program is a testament to caring, to hope, and a practical response to neglect. This is not just about these mothers who need this care. It is about the future for us all.
