Sue Steen, @isastillbirth.bsky.social board member and nurse, works in Minnesota and Uganda to prevent #stillbirth and support families.

Through her work, change is happening in Uganda - like #bereavement rooms where parents can see and hold their baby.

“My twins died before they could take their first breath. My babies mattered and I’ll never stop saying their names.”

Stillbirth isn’t rare. It happens every day, quietly & invisibly.

Michelle La Fontaine, bereaved parent from Canada

Pregnancy should be joyful. But for many in Africa, it’s filled with anxiety, loss, and injustice.

Linda Vanotoo reminds us that #stillbirth is preventable.

The time to act is now.

“Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.”

#Stillbirth is a silent crisis—1.9 million babies lost each year.

@aleenawoj.bsky.social reminds us: this is about real babies, real families, and real injustice.

Our board member Odessa Omanyo is a neonatal clinical instructor. She cared for a mother who lost her baby at 28 weeks - mocked for her grief, told she was “planting coffins instead of crops.”

#Stillbirth is a global injustice. Help us #BreakTheSilence
