🔴 IN THE MEDIA: Birth in Color was featured in Sheriff & Deputy magazine for our groundbreaking partnership with Arlington County Sheriff Jose Quiroz, bringing doula care to pregnant people in custody.
Only when we ensure ALL people, including incarcerated pregnant people, have access to compassionate, culturally competent care during one of the most vulnerable times in their lives, can we say that we’re advocating for all.
Being behind bars doesn’t mean you don’t deserve dignity, support, and skilled birth care.
Sheriff Quiroz didn’t just talk about reform. He acted. Together, we piloted Virginia’s first jail-based doula program, providing prenatal support, hospital birth accompaniment, and postpartum care including lactation support.
And the best part? We’re JUST getting started. 💛
�Stay tuned for our 2026 legislative season ya’ll. 👏🏽
