One Black person dying during #childbirth is too many. During this #BlackHistoryMonth, and every other month of the year, we’re resolute on the goal of improving access to high-quality health care for Black women. 
FACT: When it comes to health care in the U.S., Black pregnant people experience the worst outcomes. The time is now: we must prioritize Black maternal health. So… how do we do it?
Access to health coverage, from birth control to maternity care, is crucial for a lifetime of good health for mother and child. #AbortionJustice
Keyword: patient-centered. Black people deserve individualized, culturally-competent care, and should have unhindered access to it. #maternalhealth
Drastically different living conditions have drastically different health effects, and these varying conditions need to be addressed and acted on. #EnvironmentalRacism is real and it affects childbirth.
Black people experience reproductive oppression throughout the entire maternity experience, and policymakers must improve their experience every step of the way through policies like #Momnibus that center equity for the communities who need it most.
