Join us in conversation with Brittany Oaks, birth photographer, doula and maternal health advocate. In an effort to draw attention to the specific challenges COVID placed on pregnant people, Brittany asked friends to join her in handmaid attire for a demonstration in the state capitol. Powerful photos, a wildly popular tiktok posted by Brittany's friend Ashley, and the timing of Justice Ginsburg's death drew thousands of supporters from across the country who were eager to join. This sparked the October 25, 2020 #RuthSentUs protest, uniting standing Red Cloak protest groups with brand new participants.
