CAP Changemakers: The Intersectionality of Black Maternal Health Care and Abortion Access

“CAP Changemakers” is a new series of compelling conversations in which current and former Center for American Progress staff share the inside stories behind the building of progressive policies that have improved the lives of everyday Americans throughout the 20 years of CAP’s history. Please join us for the next video of the series, “The Intersectionality of Black Maternal Health Care and Abortion Access,” featuring CAP’s Director of the Women’s Initiative Sabrina Talukder and Institute for Women’s Policy Research (IWPR) President and CEO, and former CAP Senior Fellow and Director of Women’s Health and Rights, Dr. Jamila K. Taylor.  In this conversation, Dr. Taylor shares how she has advocated for centering marginalized communities in equitable healthcare policy at CAP and IWPR. Talukder and Dr. Taylor also discuss the importance of an intersectional approach to abortion access in a post-Dobbs America, what it means to provide care with dignity, and how everyone—especially women of color—can be a changemaker.
