Plain-English Summary

The proposal designates April 11-17, 2025 as "Black Maternal Health Week" to raise awareness about the serious health challenges Black women and pregnant people face during pregnancy and childbirth, including higher rates of death and complications. The week-long recognition aims to draw national attention to these disparities and encourage efforts to reduce maternal mortality and health problems in Black communities. This designation does not create new programs or funding, but rather officially recognizes an existing awareness initiative started by the Black Mamas Matter Alliance.
