Doulas are Frontline Climate Workers:

The climate crisis is exacerbating an existing maternal health crisis. Extreme heat and air pollution are linked with preterm labor, low birth weight, stillbirth and other negative pregnancy outcomes. Stress related to wildfires, flooding and hurricanes –– which are becoming more common and severe with climate change — also adversely affects pregnancy outcomes.

Black and Brown communities — already facing higher rates of maternal mortality, stillbirth and premature birth — are more likely to live in hotter neighborhoods with worse air quality, a legacy of racist redlining policies, making pregnancy increasingly dangerous.

Seyva was created to address the ongoing maternal health crisis affecting millions of women in the U.S. who don’t have access to critical support for childbirth and postpartum recovery.

As a mother of two I have experienced how challenging it is to recover physically, emotionally and psychologically from childbirth, even with all the support and resources I had the privilege of having.

It’s truly heartbreaking to know that a large number of mothers in our country don’t have affordable and equitable access to life-saving benefits like paid parental leave, doula services and mental health services.

Our goal is to ensure that women who need these resources the most can access them to heal, recover, and thrive during the most crucial beginning phase of motherhood.

Please donate, share, and get involved if you want to create a world where all new mothers thrive!!
