Safe and respectful maternity care is a fundamental human right. We strive to engage in efforts that will lead to long-lasting health improvements for every mother, everywhere.

More than 80% of maternal deaths are preventable with access to quality and respectful care, yet millions lack access to maternity care in their communities. What’s more, Medicaid—a program over 70 million women ages 18-49 rely on and that finances more than 40% of births in the U.S.––faces devastating cuts at the federal level.
This reality is a choice, and it’s unacceptable.
Join EMC in holding Congress accountable to advancing maternal health by:
Maternal health advocacy can take many forms: contacting your elected officials, educating your community, hosting a town hall or even sharing your story. With so many ways to make an impact, it can be overwhelming to know where to start or what advocacy tactic would best fit your unique skills and motivation.
That’s why we’ve just released our Advocacy Toolkit, an interactive guide to help give shape to your maternal health advocacy. Whatever your advocacy journey looks like, we hope this guide serves and inspires you. Because, right now, it is more urgent than ever before that we pass transformative legislation, support community-led organizations and raise awareness about the state of maternal health.
