Our mission demands that we stand with and for those seeking to end racial injustice. When black babies and black mothers die at a rate three times that of white babies and mothers, the phrase ‘all lives matter’ rings hollow. Racism and implicit bias are driving the racial disparity in birth outcomes. It has to end. And we must help lead that fight so all families can thrive and all children reach their full potential.
