SRES 771 United States Senate · 117th Congress

A resolution supporting the designation of September 19, 2022, as "National Stillbirth Prevention Day", recognizing tens of thousands of American families that have endured a stillbirth, and seizing the opportunity to keep other families from experiencing the same tragedy.

SRES 771 is a symbolic Senate resolution designating September 19, 2022, as "National Stillbirth Prevention Day." It highlights that approximately 23,000 stillbirths occur annually in the U.S., with significant racial disparities affecting Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous families. The resolution calls for increased awareness, evidence-based prevention efforts, and better data collection to address this crisis. It requests the President issue a proclamation encouraging public awareness activities and supports efforts to reduce stillbirths by 33% (though it does not create new laws or funding).
