Maternal health doesn't begin when a person becomes pregnant. And it doesn't end when the pregnancy is over.

Maternal health is more than the care received in a doctor's office, although that care is critical. Maternal health is knowing you're receiving the best possible care, knowing your child is healthy and loved, and knowing your race will not jeopardize your medical treatment or health outcome.

This week is Black Maternal Health Week -- an observance launched by Black Mamas Matter Alliance in 2018 to raise awareness of the staggering rates of Black maternal mortality. It's a time to deepen the national conversation about Black maternal health, amplify community-driven policy and care solutions, and above all, focus on the voices of Black women, families, and stakeholders.

This Black Maternal Health Week, Planned Parenthood is calling on our supporters to uplift the very people who lead and support communities every single day.

Donate now to five incredible organizations committed to advancing Black maternal health this week and every day. Your gift will be split among all five organizations:

Black Mamas Matter Alliance
Mothering Justice
Elephant Circle
In Our Own Voice: National Black Women’s Reproductive Justice Agenda
National Birth Equity Collaborative
