Summary
A nurse and doula fights Instagram's censorship of childbirth imagery by creating the Empowered Birth Project and a Change.org petition, which garners thousands of signatures, leading to Instagram and Facebook re-evaluating their policies. The platforms agree to change their policy to allow childbirth content, as a result of years of conversations with women's health advocates and the birthing community.
