A resolution supporting the designation of September 19, 2025, as "National Stillbirth Prevention and Awareness Day", recognizing tens of thousands of families in the United States that have endured a stillbirth, and seizing the opportunity to keep other families from experiencing the same tragedy.
SRES 401 is a symbolic Senate resolution designating September 19, 2025, as "National Stillbirth Prevention and Awareness Day." It recognizes that over 21,000 stillbirths occur annually in the U.S., disproportionately affecting Black, American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and Hispanic families, and aims to raise awareness about this crisis. The resolution calls on the President to issue a proclamation encouraging nationwide observance to support evidence-based prevention efforts, research, and better data collection. It does not create new laws or funding but seeks to highlight existing initiatives like the 2024 Maternal and Child Health Stillbirth Prevention Act. The resolution directly affects families impacted by stillbirth and aims to promote prevention awareness across the U.S.
