John,

Did you catch Lauren speaking about the urgent maternal health crisis in our country and sharing how we can solve it?

The data is clear: 80% of pregnancy-related deaths are preventable.

That is why Lauren introduced the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act — a comprehensive package designed to save lives, eliminate racial disparities, and ensure every mom gets the care and support she deserves.

Here is what the Momnibus Act accomplishes:

• Addresses Social Determinants of Health: Invests directly in essential drivers of maternal health outcomes, including stable housing, reliable transportation, and food security.

• Grows and Diversifies the Perinatal Workforce: Expands support for midwives, doulas, and nurses to ensure patients receive culturally competent care from providers they trust.

• Expands Mental Health Support: Provides dedicated funding and resources for moms experiencing maternal mental health conditions or substance use disorders.

• Extends Postpartum Support: Strengthens federal programs like WIC so new mothers receive nutritional and health assistance well into the postpartum period.

• Funds Community Organizations: Directs resources straight to local, grassroots organizations working directly on the frontlines to advance birth equity.

Passing legislation like this takes persistent pressure and strong leaders in Congress who will hold the line on health care. Will you chip in to help Lauren hold the line in Congress?
