MomBAE X Westbrook Media Are Casting Pregnant Women!
Updated: Jun 12, 2022
Black Maternal Health Victories
Black women have been at risk to experience maternal mortality in this country since the beginning of history. With mortality rates 3-4x higher than other races, organizations such as The MomBAE Movement have made it their mission to not only bring awareness to the cause but to reduce the number of maternal deaths.
As the fight for maternal health equality prevails, we applaud the significant victories such as The Momnibus Act which builds on existing maternal health legislation with 12 bills to address the clinical and nonclinical drivers of the maternal health crisis in the United States comprehensively.
In just 2021 Vice President Kamala Harris announced a call of action to reduce maternal mortality and morbidity. According to the Administration, these efforts include:
a historic $3 billion investment will be made in maternal health,
the release of guidelines to help states provide 12 months of continuous postpartum coverage through Medicaid which is up from 60 days,
creating a new designation of the quality of maternal health services for US hospitals,
