Birth Justice Prom
An Inaugural Event Championing Birth Justice
For questions, please email: s.lyons@sisterweb.org
Friday April 17, 2026
8:00 PM - Midnight
This unforgettable evening will feature light bites and appetizers, a live DJ, dancing, and meaningful connections with Bay Area leaders and changemakers. Together, we’ll celebrate a shared commitment to birth justice and the belief that every birthing person deserves safe, dignified care.
The Birth Justice Prom uplifts Black and Brown maternal and infant health by supporting SisterWeb’s San Francisco doula programs and expanding Birthland’s Oakland-based midwifery and advocacy work. Together, we’re investing in the next generation of doulas and midwives to strengthen families and advance equitable, culturally rooted care.
Sponsorship demonstrates your commitment to health equity and community impact, offering visibility among leaders and advocates driving systemic change across the Bay Area.
Together, we can make birth equity a reality.
