#BMHW21: CAMPAIGN TOOLKIT

Throughout the week, we ask that you be intentional about centering Black women’s voices, stories, and thought leadership! Please be sure to like and follow BMMA on social media, and support the movement by sharing, liking, favoriting, and retweeting all of BMMA content, as well as content from Black-led organizations and efforts on maternal health.

We also encourage you to participate in the conversations happening online by sharing images, videos, infographics, and other important content across all of your social networks. To make things easier for you, we’re providing some sample posts and images for sharing!

It’s important to elevate Black Mamas’ voices and perspectives around issues that impact them. Black Mamas are best situated to solve the challenges in their communities. Join the Black Mamas Matter Alliance to amplify effective maternal health policies and solutions for Black mamas as part of the 4th Annual Black Maternal Health Week, April 11-17 #BMHW21

Black Mamas claiming their power, resilience, and liberation is an opportunity to think about improving maternal health disparities without fear, blame, or shame. We must recognize the strengths of Black Mamas—their motherhood, scholarship, leadership, and research—if we truly hope to end the maternal health crisis. One step to do that? Engage with BMMA and its partners: https://blackmamasmatter.org/our-partners/
