The Black Mamas Matter Alliance serves as a national entity working to advance black maternal health, rights, and justice, and uplifts the work of locally based, black women-led maternal health initiatives and organizations. We honor the work and historical contributions of black women’s leadership within their communities. We value the need to recognize, amplify, and support this work on a national scale. For this reason, BMMA does not have chapters. The alliance is composed of existing organizations and individuals whose work is deeply rooted in reproductive justice, birth justice, and the human rights framework. Membership within the alliance as a Kindred Partner or Collaborator is on a case-by-case, annual basis.

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
