senate 03/14/2025 - 119th Congress

We are working to recognize March 14, 2025, as "Black Midwives Day" to honor the essential role Black midwives play in improving maternal and infant health outcomes. By raising awareness about the critical need for culturally competent and accessible maternal care, our goal is to support efforts that address racial disparities in healthcare and empower Black birthing people in their healthcare journeys.

Recognizing Black Midwives Day is a start, but let's hope it leads to actionable outcomes for maternal health.

How about focusing on improving healthcare for everyone, not just symbolic recognition days?

Applauding the recognition, but how about some concrete policies to support it?

Yet another symbolic resolution without addressing the real issues in healthcare!

Is celebrating Black Midwives Day effective, or just more government 'feel-good' intervention?

Recognizing Black Midwives Day is a small step towards addressing the big disparities in maternal health.

A nice gesture, but will it spark real change in the healthcare system?

Finally, a day to honor Black midwives who have been saving lives long before hospitals knew how.
