It's time to end preventable maternal mortality in America. We are joining the @BMHCaucus in their fight to #SaveMoms. The Black Maternal Health #Momnibus builds on existing legislation in Congress to comprehensively address every dimension of America’s maternal health crisis.

Jennifer Jacoby, Federal Policy Counsel:

“The Center for Reproductive Rights applauds @RepUnderwood, @RepAdams, @RepPressley, Rep @joekennedy, @RepDavids, @RepGwenMoore, @RepLucyMcBath, @RepEBJ, Rep @janschakowsky, @SenKamalaHarris, @SenBooker, and the @BMHCaucus...

... for introducing a human rights-based solution to the Black maternal health crisis in the US. This significant undertaking unabashedly addresses racism in our health care system – the root cause of the issue.

From start to finish, the “Momnibus” fights for the right of all birthing & postpartum people to access safe & respectful maternal health care. We are proud to endorse a package of bills that meaningfully centers the voices, experiences, & leadership of Black & Brown communities.

We look forward to continue working with the @BMHCaucus to raise awareness and address this human rights crisis." #Momnibus #SaveMoms
