We all have a role to play in combatting our maternal health crisis, including racial disparities. Today I joined organizations receiving our Maternal Health Equity Grants to discuss what they're seeing on the ground and how these funds will make an impact on their work.

I will continue using every tool in my office to tackle this ongoing crisis. Together, we are making clear that the safety and wellbeing of birthing folks and parents matters and contributes to the health and success of ALL of us.
