Doula Day; recognize January 23, 2025
SR 108 is a symbolic resolution recognizing January 23, 2025, as "Doula Day" at the Georgia state capitol. It formally acknowledges the work of doulas, particularly those serving Black communities and addressing maternal health disparities, including their role in improving birth outcomes and reducing preventable maternal mortality. The resolution highlights the contributions of specific Georgia-based doula organizations and advocates, such as the Bellies to Babies Foundation and Black doulas, without creating new laws or funding. As a procedural resolution, it serves to honor these professionals' impact on maternal care rather than implementing policy changes.
