Black Maternal Health Week Resolution Re-Introduced!

April 11, 2019 by Angela Aina

BLACK MATERNAL HEALTH ADVOCATES RESPOND TO RESOLUTION INTRODUCED TODAY BY SENATOR KAMALA HARRIS AND CONGRESSWOMAN ALMA ADAMS OFFICIALLY DECLARING APRIL 11-17 AS “BLACK MATERNAL HEALTH WEEK”

Annual Initiative Founded By The Black Mamas Matter Alliance Aims to Increase Awareness, Advocacy and Action to Address High Maternal Mortality of Black Women In The U.S.

For Immediate Release April 11, 2019 — Washington, DC —

“It’s unconscionable that in United States, one of the world’s wealthiest countries, we are seeing the rates of illness and death during pregnancy continue to skyrocket. For Black women, the statistics surrounding maternal mortality and morbidity are especially alarming,” said Black Mamas Matter Alliance Co-Directors Elizabeth Dawes Gay and Angela Doyinsola Aina. “Two days after BMMA joined Reps. Alma Adams and Lauren Underwood in launching the first Black Maternal Health Caucus to address this urgent crisis, we’re excited to see Senator Harris and Rep. Adams introduce a resolution officially recognizing April 11-17 as “Black Maternal Health Week” — a nationwide effort to amplify the voices, leadership and scholarship of Black women working to improve maternal health, rights and justice for Black mamas. Now it’s time for other lawmakers to follow suit by enacting policies and legislation at the state and federal levels that empower and support Black women before, during and after pregnancy.”

BMMA is disappointed that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade. This reversal threatens the reproductive rights of birthing people & infringes upon their bodily autonomy. But the fight isn't over! Visit bit.ly/roewadeoverturn to read our statement. #ProtectAbortionRights pic.twitter.com/CRU7kvwdZo
