The United States' maternal mortality crisis causes disproportionate harm to Black women and birthing people. As BMHW comes to a close, we must continue working to ensure better maternal and birth outcomes. *Take Action! Raise awareness about Black maternal health and the factors that contribute to this crisis including structural racism and implicit bias in the healthcare system.
