Dear Friend,

The Black Legislative Leaders Network is excited to annou

nce our collaboration with the Virginia General Assembly’s Black Maternal Health Caucus to host an important event aimed at addressing the maternal health crisis. On October 17 & 18, 2024, we will convene in Richmond, VA, at the Virginia State Capitol for the Black Maternal Health Legislative Summit. This event is proudly hosted by Speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates Don Scott and Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L. Louise Lucas.

This Summit will gather state legislators from 10 southern states, maternal health experts, and practitioners to discuss and develop a comprehensive legislative package designed to improve maternal health outcomes, especially among Black women and children. Together, we will focus on actionable solutions to address the maternal health crisis in the South, where Black women are disproportionately affected by preventable complications during childbirth.

This one-and-a-half-day summit will feature in-depth discussions, expert-led panels, and collaborative strategy sessions. Attendees will leave with a shared plan to introduce state and regional legislation that addresses key issues, including access to quality maternal care, equitable health resources, and vital funding streams.

We invite you to stay connected for more updates on this pivotal event and our ongoing efforts to ensure better health outcomes for Black women and children across the southern United States.

For more information, please stay tuned for future communications or reach out to us at [email protected]. Together, we can take the critical steps necessary to bring about meaningful, lasting change.
