Speakers
Maria Ramos
María Ascensión Ramos Bracamontes is a Mexican Indigenous Certified Nurse Midwife & Addiction Nurse Practitioner in Kalendaruk territory, Watsonville, California. She was born at home in Coca territory, in a rural rancho called Ayotitlán, Jalisco, México and raised between the coastal Awaswas speaking territory that used to be called Aulinta, now known as Santa Cruz, California, and México. Formerly undocumented, she is the daughter of campesinas and day laborers & sister to system-impeacted family members.
María is proud to come from an uninterrupted lineage of birthkeepers and homebirth. She is the mother of three, the last two were born gently at home in the water. Being a new pregnant midwife during initiation of the pandemic serving undocumented Indigenous farmworkers inspired her to start a mutual aid project called Campesina Womb Justice with the purpose of bringing resources, healing, justice, and reparations to her community.
