Black Maternal Health Week (April 11-17) is more than a week on the calendar. It’s a reminder of the structural inequities we must dismantle and the collective action we must sustain. At SiX, we are committed to advancing policy, centering community, and transforming power so that Black mothers, families, and communities not only survive, but thrive.
We’re proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with movement leaders, legislators, and advocates in this fight. Click below for a recap of how SiX met this Black Maternal Health Week moment with action, including coordinated resolutions and proclamations in nearly 20 states, research, and a historical overview of how Black birthing people have been surveilled and criminalized in the U.S.
