Black and American Indian/Alaskan Native women are up to three times more likely to die from pregnancy related complications compared to White women.

A HEALTH Crisis

The way our health, economic and education systems are built negatively affects some families and their babies more than others, even before birth, into their first years of life and beyond.

 

Inequity is Unacceptable

Together we can ensure the health and wellbeing of every mom, birthing person and baby.

Get Involved

Every family can have the best possible start. But today, too many moms and babies are dying or experiencing serious health complications related to childbirth­—and far too many are moms and babies of color. Only by working together can we confront inequities and ensure the health and wellbeing of every family.
