John,

I am so thrilled to share some big news straight from Capitol Hill: Our bipartisan NIH IMPROVE Act just passed the House with UNANIMOUS support!

This is a massive leap forward for the Momnibus, and it puts us one step closer to getting these critical protections signed into law this year.

Here’s why this victory matters so much:

In America today, 80% of maternal deaths are preventable. That is a national tragedy, and it disproportionately impacts Black mothers.

We cannot accept this as the status quo.

The NIH IMPROVE Act would authorize $63.4 million annually in direct funding for research into the root causes of maternal mortality, maternal care deserts, and severe health disparities. Since we first launched the IMPROVE Initiative, it has invested over $200 million into life-saving research. Now, we’re securing its future.

Please chip in $5 today to show your support.

This victory proves what we can accomplish when we stand together — but our work is far from over.

Now, this bill heads to the Senate. We need to build unbeatable momentum to push the entire Momnibus across the finish line and get it to the President's desk. Special interests and political gridlock won't make this easy, but grassroots support like yours is what powers our movement.

Will you chip in $10, $25, or whatever you can today to help us keep up the fight, pass the Momnibus, and save moms' lives?
