An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Maternal Mortality Disgrace

9 so far! Help us get to 10 signers!

I am your constituent and I am alarmed by the skyrocketing rate of maternal mortality. The average death rate is 32/100,000 live births. That’s EIGHT TIMES what it is in Germany. And for Black women it is two and a half times what it is for White women in the US. THIS JUST CAN’T STAND. There are access issues and medical deserts and social determinants of health, like food and transportation that are at play here. I want you to pass the Black Momnibus bill of 2023. It will fix social determinants of health portion of this. Then I want you to cosponsor and pass HR 3421, MEDICARE for ALL, so that all of us have access to health care - Cradle to Grave. Each of those lives lost was precious. You have it in your hands to fix it. So FIX IT.
