" Our Bodies Still Belong To Us: Reproductive Justice NOW "

We are thrilled to reveal the official theme for Black Maternal Health Week 2024 (#BMHW24): "Our Bodies STILL Belong to Us: Reproductive Justice NOW!" Widespread restrictions on abortion care access coupled with rising cases of criminalization due to pregnancy loss continue to widen the gaps of adverse maternal and birth outcomes among states in the U.S. Many of these states have the worst maternal and child health outcomes with the least supportive social welfare and family support programs, particularly for Black women and birthing people. 

The time is NOW to demand comprehensive insurance for maternal, sexual, and reproductive health; improve access to care; guide healthcare entities on equitable, quality care; and fund research prioritizing ALL Black women, Black Mamas and Black Birthing People, as fully described in BMMA's comprehensive policy agenda.

Black Mamas are taking control and building towards their liberation unapologetically. Whenever intentional change has been fostered, we have been on the frontlines, and now we are focusing on our own freedom and right to live and thrive. The work is not done until Black Mamas are liberated, respected, and protected. When investing in Black Mamas, we are pouring into the roots that act as the foundational strength of Black families and systems of care. We recognize, celebrate, and support those who care for and mother our families and communities whether they have given birth or not. We stand in solidarity with all Black Mamas.
