I convened Black leaders from across civil rights, faith-based, and provider organizations this morning. We cannot ignore the real struggles faced by Black Americans in accessing health care; their stories resonate deep within us, and it's time to change the narrative.
Guardianship arrangements deprive disabled people of the right to choose everything from their living arrangements to employment opportunities and even reproductive decisions. Emma is working to change that. Her story:
The Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization upended a half-century of precedent on abortion law set in Roe v. Wade. About half the states are expected to ban or further restrict abortions. nyti.ms/3NlHZYu
Huge news! The #BuildBackBetter Act includes EVERY eligible provision of my #Momnibus Act! Thank you @POTUS & @VP for championing these historic investments to save moms' lives and advance maternal health equity! I'm looking forward to voting for this critical legislation soon.
The United States has the highest maternal mortality rate of any high-income country. It's even worse for Black and Indigenous pregnant and birthing people. Congress can and must stop this crisis by passing the @BMHCaucus #Momnibus Act of 2021.
Climate change poses serious health risks to pregnant, postpartum people & their infants. Our nation's maternal health crisis makes this threat even worse. This #EarthDay, policymakers must act now to protect pregnant people & new parents. Here's how: tinyurl.com/ycrvra6j
Listen today from 3-4pm ET on @NRMStreamcast as @genprogress guest hosts @BrentJCohen and @WhoIsEdwith are joined by expert guests @osubahmed of @CAPWomen, and Connor Kalāhiki of @NewDeal4Youth, to discuss #EarthDay and the Fight For #EnvironmentalJustice nrmstreamcast.com/videos/audio-c…
LISTEN: CAP’s @osubahmed and @pkamenecka discuss racial disparities in maternal health, the underlying causes, and the impact on Black mamas. bit.ly/3ueKWBe

This week marks 11 years since the #AffordableCareAct was passed. While the ACA has helped improve the quality of coverage for pregnant people, we must build on it to address the maternal health crisis. The cost of inaction is too high to bear. ampr.gs/31fjJ4T
Today, the House successfully passed both a reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and a resolution to advance ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). We urge the Senate to immediately approve these measures. tinyurl.com/3amckhsw
Climate change is impacting birth outcomes, especially for Black mothers. I'm introducing the Protecting Moms and Babies Against Climate Change Act with @SenMarkey to invest in community-based initiatives to address these risks for Black families & women of color. #Momnibus
As someone whose father comes from a supposed "failed state", I can't help but be angry at the absolute irony of this situation. In 2017, Somaliland had a peaceful democratic transfer of power. Today, the U.S. cannot say the same.
Since day one, the Trump admin. has advanced a harmful regulatory agenda against women’s health, rights, and economic security-costing women billions of dollars. Our new report analyzes the cost of the most harmful rules the administration has finalized: tinyurl.com/yy8o7fl4
“The child that I birthed is not able to live his dreams.” This is reproductive justice. #DNC2020
A Black woman is the Democratic VP candidate. I’m crying, I’m so happy. Go, Kamala!
All policies in the #Momnibus are critical to tackling the interconnected problems women, esp. Black women, face during delivery & in the postpartum period & would help to: ✔️Address social determinants of health ✔️Extend health coverage ✔️Expand telehealth services ✔️And more

We support the Black Maternal Health #Momnibus because women shouldn’t be more likely to die because of the color of their skin or their zip code. The #Momnibus is the most comprehensive legislation introduced to address racial disparities in maternal mortality & morbidity.
No vaccine or treatment for #COVID19 will be truly effective or equitable if it does not work for everyone. Women, especially women of color, must be included in research and data around COVID-19 and other health conditions more broadly. tinyurl.com/yc3l4co4
Legislative attacks on sexual & repro health have reached unprecedented levels in recent years. Telehealth is critical to helping patients & providers overcome these harmful barriers & ensure continued access during #COVID19 and beyond. Read more here: americanprogress.org/issues/women/r…

Ketanji Brown Jackson was sworn in Thursday at noon. President Biden nominated Jackson in February, fulfilling a campaign promise to nominate the first Black woman to the Supreme Court. n.pr/3OxJSmv
5/7 Abortion has helped many women preserve their economic potential, research shows. And Black women are especially at risk of losing out in states that may soon ban the procedure. 📝: @flakebarmer, KHN / @WPLN khn.org/news/article/b…
Co-sign. "In the midst of a Black maternal mortality crisis already robbing us of the lives of Black women three to four times the rate of white women, restricting access to abortion care will disproportionately endanger the lives of Black women"
Overturning Roe v. Wade would be a direct assault on Black lives. That’s why I’m leading calls for @POTUS to respond to this threat as the public health emergency that it is. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
We know that attacks on abortion access put Black women & pregnant folks at grave risk. Today we’re asking @POTUS to partner with us and call this what it is—a public health emergency. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
If this was about babies, there would be universal healthcare. Free education. Free daycare. Southern states would be doing all they can to drop the Black maternal mortality rate. This is about power and control
Forced birth in a country that doesn’t have mandatory maternity leave or universal healthcare…
Roe v. Wade is based on the 'right to privacy.' If the majority opinion by SCOTUS suggests that the constitution does not protect the right to privacy... that affects a WHOLE lot of other decisions. Buckle up - this is the beginning of a lot of potential ugliness. A thread.
I clerked at the Supreme Court. Last night, I assumed a liberal clerk leaked the draft opinion overturning Roe. Now I think MUCH more likely it was leaked by a conservative fanatically committed to every word of Alito’s monstrous opinion. **🧵**
🧵The #BuildBackBetter Act is one of two bills that brings to life the Biden-Harris administration’s Build Back Better Agenda. If passed, in 32 states a typical family would save more than $100 per week on child care. americanprogress.org/?p=503993

The United States has the highest maternal mortality rate of any high-income country. It's even worse for Black and Indigenous pregnant and birthing people. Congress can and must stop this crisis by passing the @BMHCaucus #Momnibus Act of 2021.
🎉BREAKING🥳 President Biden kept his campaign promise and just released a budget without the Hyde Amendment. YOU DID THAT! Our 130+ orgs coalition DID THAT. We love to see #AbortionJustice in action. #BeBoldEndHyde
BREAKING: By a 55–44 vote, Chiquita Brooks-LaSure just became the first Black woman to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. For @SELFmagazine, I reported on how she'll address health equity, reproductive health, and more in her new role: self.com/story/chiquita…
The fight for Black lives and the fight for Palestinian liberation are interconnected. We oppose our money going to fund militarized policing, occupation, and systems of violent oppression and trauma. We are anti-war. We are anti-occupation. And we are anti-apartheid. Period.

🚨 New CAP brief, the risks of maternal health due to climate change! 🚨 My favorite part of CAP is learning policy implications from areas I know nothing about - and @osubahmed new piece is so insight and a great read!
