Laila Edwards made history as the first Black woman to play for the U.S. Women's Olympic Ice Hockey Team at the 2026 Winter Olympics. She also became the first Black woman to score for Team USA at both the World Championships and the Olympics.

Today, we honor the intersection of reproductive justice and disability justice as we know all of our liberation is bound within each other.

Until the late 19th century, most births were attended by midwives, many of whom were Black, indigenous, or immigrant women. Today, Certified Professional Midwifes are still not legal to practice birthing care in many states. Read more at the link in our bio.

Considered the "father of the abolitionist movement," we honor Frederick Douglass. His autobiography "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave" details the horrors of slavery and the journey to freedom. The audio-book is linked in our bio!

#BlackHistoryMonth

We honor the birth of literary legend, Toni Morrison. As the first Black female writer to be honored with the Nobel Prize for Literature, Toni's work tackled race, history, and identity in ways that force the reader to confront these complex issues.

Everyday is love day - but now and forever, we love abortion providers!

Thank you to those who continue to exist in the midst of a hostile abortion provider environment. We appreciate you & all you do for those who need access to care.

#AbortionIsHealthcare #ValentinesDay

As we honor Black History, we look to our movement founders.

One of those founders, Loretta J. Ross will be joined by Marlene Gerber Fried, co-founder of the National Network of Abortion Funds, for a discussion on reproductive justice.

As efforts increase to erase contributions made by Black folks, and the threat of closing, we are grateful to NMAAHC for sharing the unvarnished truth of African American history - illuminating the struggles and triumphs that have shaped our nation.

@nmaahc #BlackHistoryMonth

We're seeing militarized federal enforcement and surveillance, and we know that this is not new to our communities. We commend those who came before us, and applaud those fighting against injustices today.

100 Years of Black History Month!

Tides acknowledges the legislative attempts to restrict Black history in schools via the restriction of DEI funding, and will continue to uplift the many contributions Black folks have made to birth a more conscious society.
