The disproportionate rate at which Black women and their babies are affected is a matter that we can no longer ignore.
Black women, no matter their socio-economic status, are equally affected.It is a problem that should be addressed at the root, which is racism, bias, and inequity in the medical system.
We all have a responsibility to help advance birth outcomese for Black families that are an integral part of our communities. Together we can change structural racism, which causes toxic stress and additional barriers to improving maternal mortality. Some ways to contribute are by advocating for social justice and working to change policies that directly impact the Black community.“It tells you that you can’t educate your way out of this problem. You can’t health-care-access your way out of this problem. There’s something inherently wrong with the system that’s not valuing the lives of Black women equally to white women.”
Support comes in many forms. We help Black Families sustain the best care possible and improve their health outcomes.

In the United States, infant mortality rates are significantly higher than in other developed countries. And Black women are disproportionately affected, dying at three to four times the rate of white women from causes related to pregnancy and childbirth.
