Make sure all mothers and birthing people in our country have access to quality, equitable, and respectful maternity care.
Join us in urging our legislators to take bold action for maternal health in 2023! We ended 2022 with several meaningful policy wins for the health of moms and birthing people, including:
Making permanent the option for states to extend Medicaid coverage to 12 months postpartum (previously set to expire in 2027)
Additional investments in maternal mental health services & screening
The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act & PUMP Act, requiring employers to provide reasonable workplace accommodations for the health of pregnant and breastfeeding employees
But much more is needed to make quality, respectful, and equitable maternity care a reality for all mothers and birthing people in the United States. Let’s make sure our representatives fight for key maternity care policies this year that did not pass last year, such as:
Ensuring that all 50 states provide Medicaid coverage for a full year postpartum, and
Passing the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act, which includes investments in community-based, equity-focused policies.
Act today to ensure that Congress fights for key policies to make 2023 a historic year for our country’s mothers, birthing people, and families.
