The Birth Attendants is a grassroots collective that aims to support the human rights of reproductive freedom and self-determination for pregnant and post-partum people in prison by providing informational, physical and emotional resources and by creating dialogue and action that critically examines and resists ways the prison system divides our communities.

The Birth Attendants is not affiliated with and does not endorse any sect, denomination, institution or religion. Our services are not religiously-based and, though we carry out our advocacy and support services inside the WCCW, we are not affiliated with the Washington State Department of Corrections. We are based in the community and currently function as an independent non-profit.
