Honored to be participating in Tufts Black Maternal Health Conference. We stand together with organizations fighting to improve Black maternal outcomes as we know this is tied to Black infant mortality. Nurses and Midwives lead the way! @BMMTufts #bmmtufts #bmhc2023

Did you need to stay home longer with your baby postpartum but had to return to work? The US is the only high-income country in the world that does not guarantee paid maternity leave to its workers, and we need you to help convince lawmakers that we want and need better.
