Hey John,

Did you know that Black mothers in the United States face a heartbreaking disparity in health care? It's true. They are three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than white mothers. This is a crisis that demands urgent action — that’s where we come in.

As our team prepares for Black Maternal Health Week, April 11 - 17, we are focused on raising awareness about this preventable crisis and rallying support in our communities and Congress to address it. We have a real opportunity to improve Black maternal health outcomes, and that's where you can help make a difference.

Lauren has worked hard to craft legislation that will help tackle this issue head-on. The 13-bill Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act is a comprehensive approach to addressing the root causes of disparities in health care that Black mothers face.

To help us make the most of Black Maternal Health Week, please consider making a donation today and joining us in the fight for Black maternal health. Your contribution this week, no matter the size, will make a real impact on our work.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

We need as much support as possible to advocate for and pass the Momnibus so we can invest in protecting and empowering Black mothers, strengthening families, and creating a future where childbirth is a safe experience for all.
