WHAT WE DO?
A'sani Heartbeat Foundation is dedicated to advancing reproductive justice for maternal, paternal, and family support. Through advocacy, restorative healing, storytelling, and public education, we strive to create positive change and foster a society where individuals and families have equitable access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare, resources, and support systems.
WHY WE DO IT?
We exist because reproductive justice is a fundamental human right that is often denied or restricted for many individuals and families. Discrimination, stigma, and systemic barriers disproportionately impact marginalized communities, limiting their access to essential reproductive healthcare and support. By addressing these issues head-on, we strive to create a society where reproductive justice is recognized, upheld, and accessible to all.
