Urge Congress to support comprehensive legislation addressing the Black maternal
health crisis!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED -> [ [link removed] ]Sign Now
The state of maternal health is in crisis, especially for Black women and
Native families and communities. Right now, the United States is the most
dangerous place to give birth in the developed world, with major racial
disparities where Black women lose their lives at 3 to 4 times the rate of
white women due to maternity-related causes, independent of age, economic
background, or education, a fact that has gone unchanged for several
decades. If we’re going to save our moms, we need everyone to be a part of
the solution. Every person giving birth deserves a safe and healthy
experience and should have the opportunity to watch their child grow up
and thrive. Every child should have a chance to have their mother by their
side.

address the Black maternal health crisis in America!

#KeepMarching Meeting: What’s WINNABLE in the new Congress?
A new President! A new Administration! And a new Congress! There are so
many new opportunities to create real and lasting change for our families,
communities, and economy in 2021. And we are more than ready to win. But
what’s actually winnable? From universal childcare and reopening schools
to raising the minimum wage to comprehensive immigration reform, to
finally (FINALLY!) winning paid leave for all, there are so many exciting
opportunities for MomsRising members to engage in important and
long-lasting advocacy that will lift up all of our families and start to
pull us out of the COVID economy.

Tell President Biden to take Executive Action to Abolish the Federal Death
Penalty
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->
[ [link removed] ]Sign Now
The criminal justice system is fraught with inequities including clear
evidence that capital punishment in the United States is disproportionally
applied to Black people and people of color. We cannot allow this to
continue.
The death penalty is as cruel as it is ineffective in deterring crime.
Revenge is not justice and murder for murder does not provide healing to
families or society as a whole.
