Black Coalition for Safe Motherhood (BCFSM) seeks volunteers who are passionate about improving Black Maternal Health and enthusiastic about promoting community based healthcare advocacy education in the Black community. Our ACTT Curriculum was designed to increase awareness of rights to respectful and person centered maternity care and to involve Black community members in practicing ways to amplify their voices to assert those rights in all healthcare settings. ACTT also promotes holistic community support for Black birthing people to reduce stress and increase healing. ACTT stands for powerful self-affirming steps:
Ask Questions until You Understand the Answers
Claim Your Space - Physical and Mental
Trust Your Body
Tell Your Story
BCFSM volunteers will help accelerate the spread of the ACTT Curriculum in Black communities nationwide by organizing and scheduling ACTT programs, and by raising funds or finding grants to support these programs. Volunteers should have ties in the Black community and will be expected to develop an understanding of Reproductive Justice and its Human Rights framework.
