A resolution recognizing March 14, 2024, as "Black Midwives Day".

This resolution designates March 14, 2024, as "Black Midwives Day" to raise awareness about the critical role Black midwives play in addressing maternal health disparities. It directly affects Black birthing people, midwives, and communities disproportionately impacted by high maternal mortality and morbidity rates. The resolution urges federal and state governments to support policies that diversify the perinatal workforce, increase access to culturally congruent care, and remove barriers to midwifery practice. It does not create new laws or allocate funds but emphasizes the importance of Black midwifery in improving maternal health outcomes through recognition and advocacy.
