EnviroNatal Equity Week, running from April 18th to 21st, serves as a vital bridge between Black Maternal Health Week and Earth Day. It is a call to action, rooted in the urgency of the intersecting crises of maternal health, racial inequity, and climate change. Building upon the purpose and history of Black Maternal Health Week, which shines a spotlight on the alarming disparities in maternal outcomes for Black mothers, EnviroNatal Equity Week extends this focus to highlight that climate justice should be inseparable from perinatal health justice. In an era where the health of babies and parents is profoundly affected by rising temperatures and environmental hazards, this week seeks to unite communities, experts, and advocates to address the critical interplay between climate change, racial inequities, and maternal health. By mobilizing those who care deeply about the well-being of families and our planet, EnviroNatal Equity Week endeavors to drive awareness, action, and transformative change for healthier futures.

The event is free and open for all to participate, by amplifying the message on social media, leading in-person local events, or signing up as a corporate sponsor.
