Black Midwives Day; March 14, 2025; recognize

HR 591 is a symbolic resolution recognizing March 14, 2025, as "Black Midwives Day" to honor Black midwives' contributions to maternal health care. It aims to raise awareness about racial disparities in maternal health - where Black birthing people face twice the rate of complications compared to white people - and highlight the role of culturally congruent midwifery care in addressing these inequities. The resolution does not create new policies or funding but serves as a commemorative statement supporting community-driven health advocacy.
