FEATURED BILL: NC MOMNIBUS ACT

Black women are more than twice [[link removed]] as likely to die from pregnancy-related issues than women of other races, according to the CDC. Maternal health outcomes in North Carolina particularly need to improve, as we currently rank 30th out of 50 states [[link removed]] in high maternal mortality rates.

That's why Senator Murdock, along with her colleagues Sens. Batch and Salvador, and Reps. von Haefen, Cunningham, Alston, and Hawkins introduced the North Carolina Momnibus Act [[link removed]] to the state legislature this April.

The Act seeks to address the social determinants of maternal health, implicit bias in healthcare professionals, and the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on maternal health, as well as establish grants for community-based programs working to address these issues.

The NC Momnibus Act will be critical in helping to close the stark racial disparities in maternal healthcare.

In solidarity,

Pia Nargundkar
Communications Director

Help us train the next generation of advocates like Senator Murdock!
