Addressing Bias and Advancing Equity

The ZERO TO THREE Journal

Volume 42 No 1

The mission of ZERO TO THREE—to ensure that all babies have a strong start in life—is deeply influenced by issues of equity and social justice. The articles in this issue of the Journal represent a small collection of the efforts, both within ZERO TO THREE and from our colleagues who are working on the frontlines of service, to address bias and advance equity at all levels and systems of care.
