Supporting the designation of the week of April 11 through April 17, 2025, as the eighth annual "Black Maternal Health Week", founded by Black Mamas Matter Alliance, Inc. (BMMA), to bring national attention to the maternal and reproductive health crisis in the United States and the importance of reducing maternal mortality and morbidity among Black women and birthing people.
Sponsored By: Representative Adams, Alma S. [D-NC-12]
Introduced
Summary
Reducing Black maternal mortality and morbidity is the primary aim of this resolution, which would designate April 11–17, 2025 as Black Maternal Health Week to spotlight the crisis facing Black women and birthing people. It would emphasize systemic causes like racism, care access gaps, and workforce shortages and call for policy action to expand care and center Black leadership.
Show full summary
- Black women and birthing people: Raises national attention to disproportionate maternal deaths and calls for expanded prenatal, postpartum, family planning, mental health, and reproductive care. It notes a 26 percent rise in Black maternal mortality since the COVID-19 era.
- Perinatal workforce and community-based providers: Calls for support, reimbursement, and removal of barriers for Black midwives, doulas, and perinatal health workers and for funding and policy advances for Black-led organizations.
- Policymakers and public health: Would call on Congress to address structural racism and social determinants of health such as housing, transportation, nutrition, and living wages and to pass the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act and other human-rights rooted legislation.
