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

This conversation with Sabrina Talukder and Dr. Jamila K. Taylor highlights the vital intersection of Black maternal health care and abortion access, advocating for equitable policies and dignified care for marginalized communities.

“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. 

The positions of American Progress, and our policy experts, are independent, and the findings and conclusions presented are those of American Progress alone. A full list of supporters is available here. American Progress would like to acknowledge the many generous supporters who make our work possible.
