YWCA Utah is excited to announce the launch of our 21 Day Challenge: Until Justice Just Is, to begin on June 12, 2023. YWCA Utah has been serving women in Utah for 117 years, serving survivors, and communities experiencing marginalization, through our direct services and setting new standards for what race equity should look like. We will continue to build on our momentum for advancing justice, and the 21 Day Challenge is a critical component in realizing this vision.

Ending Racism in Birth and Maternity Care

Irth is an award-winning app that "helps Black and brown women and birthing people have a more safe and empowered pregnancy and parenting experience by allowing you to see how other parents of color, just like you, experienced care at a doctor or hospital. Then we turn those collective experiences into meaningful data to push for change within health systems." Check out the Irth website, download the Irth app, read this article by Rebecca Gale, and share this life-saving resource with your network!

Comunidad Materna en Utah is hosting a resource fair for Utah moms! If you or your organization has services, resources, or products related to maternal health or pregnancy that you would like to share, fill out the vendor registration form or call (801) 613-2745 for more information.
