The United States has the highest maternal mortality rate of any industrialized country, and the rate continues to climb. American Indian/Alaskan Native and non-Hispanic Black women are 3-4 times more likely to die from childbirth- or pregnancy-related causes compared to non-Hispanic White women YOU can help change this! In support of the national March for Moms in Washington DC and orchestrated in conjunction with Improving Birth, we will bring together businesses, healthcare providers, family support services, and local families to spread awareness and provide solutions. There will be booths with information, free samples, family fun activities, food, and guest speakers. The open mic will allow families to share what they think needs to be done to make change in health care for moms and babies. Rally To Improve Birth & Community Picnic
