John, black women have the highest maternal mortality rate in the United States—50.3 deaths per 100,000 live births for 2023. That's almost three times the rate for white women.
With abortion bans on the rise across the country, that rate is only projected to rise… but not if we can help it. In honor of Black Maternal Health Week, will you donate as we work toward the kind of abortion justice that's rooted in Black mothers lived experience—and saves lives?
We urgently need policies and systems that ensure comprehensive, affirming, and accessible reproductive healthcare—including abortion care. It's a critical component of maternal health equity, and it's at the center of what we do.
This Black Maternal Health Week, we're taking a critical step toward addressing the racial disparities in maternal health outcomes and affirming the full spectrum of reproductive decisions for Black women and birthing people. This means shifting the narrative, mobilizing communities, and working to advance policies that protect Black women's reproductive autonomy and well-being in a holistic way. Will you join us with a gift to change lives today?
The truth is, Black maternal health and abortion justice are inextricably linked—both are rooted in the fight for bodily autonomy, equitable healthcare, and the right to parent (or not) in safe and supportive conditions. Together, we're fighting to win it all.
Make a gift today, then stay tuned on Instagram to learn more about how we're shifting the narrative toward justice for Black mothers and beyond.
Together in justice,
Nourbese Flint
President & CEO
