Yesterday marked the end of the 6th annual Black Maternal Health Week
<https://therepresentationproject.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=19d7b68642b3bc45754ab883e&id=98c8f010e4&e=5f0dc48970>
(BMHW), a time to center Black women’s experience and expertise across
sexual, maternal, and reproductive health care, services, programs, and
initiatives. 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. Support evidence-based solutions such as
greater investment in doulas and mid-wives. Follow Black Mamas Matter

Our society holds harmful myths about sexual violence that retraumatize
survivors and prevent justice. It is crucial that we confront the rampant
misinformation in our culture. Together, we can create a world where
survivors are believed and supported, and receive the justice they deserve.
Our new fact sheet busts common #RapeMyths, putting them beside the facts.

*Take Action! Challenge misinformation about sexual violence in our media
and culture using #RapeMyths. Share our new resource with your network.
