In August 2022, a Black teen was admitted to the Birthplace at @mclarenhealthcare for a possible induction of labor. The medical staff charged with her care violated her Patient Rights by ignoring her consent, violating her bodily autonomy, and preventing her support people from advocating for her while she was medically vulnerable. The nursing staff weaponized hospital security as a threat of criminalization and violence against the TFF Doula and further retaliated against her by seeking out her professional contacts to impact her ability to work in the future.

When hospitals are not safe for Black women, their lives are at risk. Black women are 2-3 times more likely to die giving birth than their white counterparts. The Ingham County Health Department declared that racism is a public health crisis stating, ‘...people who belong to a minority group in Ingham County have higher rates of illness and premature death.’

We refuse to allow our teens to become a statistic. That’s why we’re demanding action.
