National Black Justice Collective - NBJC

During Black Maternal & Gestational Health Week, we're airdropping a message to all the LGBTQIA+ people who are or who have been pregnant, because you need and deserve a little extra motivation, celebration, and appreciation.

This year marks the 10-year anniversary of BMHW with the theme "Rooted in Justice and Joy." We're pairing real facts with real love — because both matter.

The fact: 29–44% of Black women experience postpartum depressive symptoms. The reality: few are ever connected to the mental health care services they need. That is not acceptable. And it will not be our community's story. 💜

AI Is Not Coming for You. It's Waiting on You with Dee Marshall AI is already here. The question is whether it's working for you—or leaving you behind. In this conversation, Dr. David J. Johns sits down with Dee C. Marshal

National Youth HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NYHAAD) is a time to raise awareness about the impact of HIV on young people and to uplift the importance of prevention, testing, and care.

While progress has been made, young people continue to be disproportionately affected, and many are still not accessing the resources they need.

Knowing your status is a powerful first step, and we encourage all youth to get tested and stay informed about their health.

A sitting president threatening that “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again” is a threat of genocide. We join more than 200 organizations and experts in saying ‘not in our name.’

Congress has a vital role to play in ensuring accountability for violations of U.S. or international law. That can mean cutting off funding for these attacks, insisting that unauthorized operations end, and impeaching officials who commit crimes.

Military officers and servicemembers must refuse patently illegal orders. No pardon from the president can protect them from prosecution in other countries.

What’s being framed as “choice” has a long history and real consequences.

On today’s Teach the Babies, Fred Jones () breaks down how policies that claim to expand opportunity can actually weaken public education, increase inequality, and open the door to legal discrimination.

This isn’t just about the past, it’s about what’s being built right now, and who it serves.

If we’re serious about equity, we have to be honest about where we invest, who benefits, and what gets left behind.
