Stories of Resistance
Maternal Health Tribunal
As Georgia’s maternal health crisis deepens amidst persistent attacks on our human rights and reproductive lives, the Maternal Health Tribunal serves as an alternative critical intervention space to share knowledge, build collective power, and above all, heal in community.
Grounded in Black feminist theory and rooted in the reproductive justice and human rights frameworks, the Tribunal centers community voices and collective healing.
Reproductive Justice Storytelling ensures that our truth and lived experiences are at the forefront of the movement.
We’re inviting individuals, families, healthcare workers, birth workers, and advocates to share their lived experiences, whether it’s a story of harm, survival, support, or fear during the perinatal period.
