Our September issue weaves stories about compassion--one that interconnects our humanity and contours spaces of love. From the undocumented and asylum-seeker to children in foster care, we open a lens to examine fundamental values we place on the well-being of children. We interview an extraordinary mother who has adopted children fostered in her home and profile one of the leading community-based doula agencies in the birth justice movement. Highlights of sanctuary and sterilization bookend themes of courage embedded in bringing forth new life, whether from the womb or forging a path forward into a new reality.
