BirthNet

It takes a community.

A huge thank you to the women of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. and everyone who supported their recent fundraiser benefiting BirthNet.

We are incredibly grateful that you chose to invest in our work and the families we serve. Support like this helps us continue advocating for birth justice, providing resources, and creating spaces where families feel informed, supported, and empowered.

We’re thankful for this partnership and for everyone who continues to stand alongside us in this work.

💙 Thank you for helping make a difference.

BirthNet was proud to be part of Say It Loud! BIPOC Pride this past weekend in Albany.

Birth justice is about more than healthcare—it’s about ensuring that all people and families are treated with dignity, respect, and support. Events like BIPOC Pride create opportunities for connection, celebration, and community, and we’re grateful to have been part of it.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table, shared a conversation, picked up resources, or learned more about BirthNet’s work.

We’ll be continuing that community connection this Saturday, June 20, at the Juneteenth Celebration on Rensselaer Street in Albany from 11 AM–6 PM. Stop by our table to learn more about BirthNet, connect with our team, and celebrate a day dedicated to freedom, culture, resilience, and community.

We hope to see you there.

These photos highlight the organizations, birth workers, advocates, and community members who came together at DoulaPalooza 2026 to share resources, build relationships, and strengthen support for families throughout our region.

One of the most meaningful parts of the day was seeing so many people gathered in one space, connecting with one another and learning more about the services, programs, and support available within our community.

A special thank you to Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood and St. Peter's Health Partners for supporting this year’s event and helping make DoulaPalooza possible.

Thank you to Jayana Espinoza for capturing these incredible moments📸

Last week, members of the BirthNet board had the opportunity to attend Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood’s Spring Gala.

We were honored to celebrate alongside advocates, healthcare leaders, community partners, and supporters who are committed to improving health outcomes across our region.

At BirthNet, we know that creating healthier communities requires collaboration. We’re grateful for opportunities to connect with organizations that are working every day to expand access to care, education, and support for families.

Thank you to Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood for bringing the community together and for the important work you do throughout the Capital Region.

June is shaping up to be a month of connection, community, and celebration.

This month, you can find BirthNet at BIPOC Pride, Juneteenth celebrations, and our Virtual Doula Meetup. Whether you’re a parent, doula, community member, or advocate, we hope you’ll join us.

Looking for a way to support birth justice in the Capital Region? We’re always looking for volunteers who want to make a difference in their community.

Real change happens when families are given the opportunity to share their stories.

Yesterday, a Jubilant Birth Albany mom stood alongside leaders and advocates at Governor Hochul’s press event on lowering costs for families, helping bring real experiences into an important statewide conversation.

At BirthNet NY, we believe the people most impacted by maternal and infant health policies should have a voice in shaping them. We’re proud to see community members stepping into that role and helping move birth equity forward.

This is what advocacy looks like. 💛
