UROC Critical Conversation: Reviving Ancestral Practices

In 2022, UROC partnered with the Minneapolis-based Collective Action Lab, the Minnesota Indian Women’s Resource Center, the Native American Community Clinic, and Liberty Community Church Northside Healing Space to launch an initiative aimed at improving maternal health outcomes and advancing birth justice related issues in Hennepin County.
The initiative—called the Birth Justice Collaborative (BJC)—set out to engage communities in co-designing strategies designed to improve birth outcomes using community-based knowledge and wisdom. This UROC Critical Conversation will showcase the BJC's five priority strategies that are already creating positive change.

The event is free and open to the public, but registration is requested. Food will be provided.

Located in North Minneapolis, the Robert J. Jones Urban Research and Outreach-Engagement Center (UROC) links the University of Minnesota in vital public partnership with urban communities to advance learning, improve quality of life, and discover breakthrough solutions to critical problems.
