John,

As Black Maternal Health Week begins, we are reaching out to highlight the critical issue of Black maternal health in our country.

Black women are at a higher risk of severe complications during childbirth and are three to four times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes compared to white women. This crisis is happening in the United States which has the highest maternal mortality rate among high-income countries and it’s only getting worse.

Sharing these appalling statistics is crucial, and we'll continue to do so until we gain enough support to change it and improve health outcomes for Black mothers, ensuring they receive the care and respect they deserve throughout their pregnancy journey.

Today marks the start of Black Maternal Health Week, and we've set a bold goal to raise $25,000 by April 17 to help tackle this crisis and save moms’ lives. Please help us reach this goal by making a donation. Every bit helps!

Every bit of support is crucial in advancing the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act, the first comprehensive package of bills addressing the Black maternal health crisis through historic investments that tackle every driver of maternal mortality, morbidity, and disparities in the United States.

Grassroots donations, especially those made in response to our emails, are a key source of our fundraising. Much of our outreach this week is online, so every donation, whether it’s $5, $50, or $500, is vital to making Black maternal health a priority in Congress.

Be a part of the solution! We're aiming to raise $25,000 to push forward legislation that will improve health outcomes for Black mothers. Your support is vital in this journey toward equitable maternal care. Please consider donating during Black Maternal Health Week and help us make history.
