Black Coalition For Safe Motherhood

Mission Statement BCFSM seeks to improve Black Maternal Health through promotion of healthcare advocacy and holistic community support of birthing people. BCFSM was established to promote the ACTT Curriculum in Black communities nationwide and beyond. Your Support through your donations will help to sustain the operation of Black Coalition for Safe Motherhood, which includes the continued spreading of the ACTT Advocacy Toolkit through the ACTT Workshops and the ACTT Facilitator Trainings. BCFSM has ACTT Facilitators in thirteen states. (Alabama, Florida, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and California) ACTT Workshop Survey has shown that 95% of the participants have more confidence in advocating for themselves and others in healthcare settings. The BCFSM Team's goal is to raise funds to have more ACTT Workshops going on in every state, city and beyond. Our ACTT Facilitator Training prepares birth workers, educators, and doulas to equip their clients and communities with the ACTT advocacy knowledge and skills to take charge of their care.
