SISTA Fire is turning five years old and as promised, we plan to celebrate big! Throughout the month of June, we will mark the moment by highlighting folks that help keep SISTA Fire burning.
On September 17 we will host our 5 Year Anniversary Celebration and Fundraiser, and you are invited! All SISTA Fire supporters are a part of our family and we want you to celebrate with us.
Five reasons to love SISTA Fire :
- We are a network of over 200 women and nonbinary people of color creating transformative change in the state of RI.
- We are the first group in RI to hold Women and Infants Hospital accountable to our Black birthing families.
- In 2021 we helped pass the RI Doula Reimbursement Act into law, ensuring healthcare coverage (including Medicaid) for doula services for birthing families.
- Since the pandemic began in 2020 we have provided mutual aid to over 300 families in RI.
- We take the time to get to know you. Deep relationship building is a core strategy of our praxis. It’s how we show up for one another. We’ll always have food, music, and laughter, we’ll always take the time to heal with each other, and we are gonna keep building together.
