Black Maternal Health Caucus

There has never been comprehensive federal action to solve our maternal crisis — until the #Momnibus. @RepUnderwood, @RepAdams, @SenBooker, and members of the @BMHCaucus introduced this historic legislative package to save moms’ lives. Congress must pass it now!

More than 80% of maternal deaths are preventable. We know how to save lives and end our nation’s maternal health crisis, and that solution is the Momnibus Act.

The tragic loss of Dr. Janell Green Smith, a certified nurse midwife, is devastating and senseless. America’s maternal health crisis is preventable and it is getting worse. The #Momnibus is the solution, and Congress must pass it now. nurse.org/news/janell-gr…

Proud to join my friend Charles Johnson, founder of @4kira4moms, and a powerful group of advocates to share more about our work to end the maternal health crisis and pass the Momnibus.

Join the Black Maternal Health Caucus this Friday for an exciting Stakeholder Update hosted by Co-Chairs @RepAdams and @RepUnderwood! RSVP here: tinyurl.com/5uvujvhr

Today marks the 6th year anniversary of the @BMHCaucus! From introducing the Momnibus & securing more than $200 million in federal funding for maternal health, to bringing together over 120 bipartisan members of Congress we thank every maternal health champion on and off the Hill
