Honoring the bravery of children who have survived sexual trauma with a community invested in the healing of their whole being.

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.

Sometimes we just stand behind another community advocate to lend our support + amplify their urgent life-sustaining requests.

Today the founder of Cardboard Prophets was joined by members of the Lansing People’s Council to deliver urgent requests to the @cityoflansingmi and @downtown.lansing on behalf of the unhoused people at Reutter Park:

📍Instruct security officials and event staff to end the practice of barring the local unhoused from using the warming shelters during event hours.

📍Restrict security officials and event staff from calling the police on unhoused people for existing in a space that they were restricted from earlier in the event season unless there is an imminent threat to public safety.

📍Allow members of the Lansing community to access the existing market sheds outside of Kringle Holiday Market hours as temporary shelter and warming stations to help them survive the frigid winter temperatures.

📍Allow the existing heaters to be used 24/7 for whomever is in need of warming.

📍Open a 24 hour warming station downtown.

These are the first of a series of requests being made to address the 300% increase in houselessness in Lansing.
