This resolution designates March 14, 2025, as "Black Midwives Day" to honor the historical and ongoing contributions of Black midwives to maternal and infant health care in the United States. The measure recognizes the important role these healthcare providers have played in delivering babies and supporting pregnant women, particularly in communities that have faced barriers to accessing quality medical care. While symbolic rather than creating new laws or programs, the resolution aims to raise awareness about Black midwives' vital work in improving health outcomes for mothers and newborns.
