Justice from the Start – Supporting Prenatal-to-Three with Federal Relief Funds: Health
October 28 2021
3:00 PM EDT
This webinar is the final webinar in the three-part series on funding prenatal-to-three with federal relief funds.
The pandemic has exposed and deepened long-standing health inequities by race, ethnicity and income, with alarming implications for the health of birthing people and their young children. Federal relief funds in the American Rescue Plan Act represent significant, unprecedented funding that provides champions with an opportunity to advance health equity and justice from the start in the prenatal-to-three period.

- Vikki Crouse, Policy Analyst, NC Child (regarding the environmental and health issue of lead)
