Save Women & Infants. Pass the Black Maternal Health Momnibus.

The Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act is a crucial measure to address the maternal mortality crisis in the United States, which has the highest rate among high-income countries. Alarmingly, black women in the U.S. have a maternal mortality rate of three to four times that of white women, and black infants die at twice the rate of white infants before their first birthday. This comprehensive package of 13 bills targets key areas influencing maternal health outcomes, such as housing, transportation, and nutrition. It also proposes extending WIC eligibility, diversifying the perinatal workforce, and improving maternal health care for incarcerated individuals. Over 200 organizations support this legislation, reflecting its broad appeal and potential impact. Passing this Act is not just a matter of policy but life and death. It is a crucial step towards ensuring equitable health outcomes for all mothers and saving countless lives. We must prioritize the well-being of individuals over other considerations and commit to systemic change. Let's pass this Act and save lives.
