There has never been comprehensive federal action to solve our maternal crisis — until the #Momnibus.
@RepUnderwood, @RepAdams, @SenBooker, and members of the @BMHCaucus introduced this historic legislative package to save moms’ lives.
Congress must pass it now!

ALL of us have a role to play in ending our nation’s maternal health crisis. An incredible group of Dadvocates from @4kira4moms joined us in Washington for the 3rd annual “Dads Got Something to Say”!!
More than 80% of maternal deaths are preventable. We know how to save lives and end our nation’s maternal health crisis, and that solution is the Momnibus Act.
The tragic loss of Dr. Janell Green Smith, a certified nurse midwife, is devastating and senseless. America’s maternal health crisis is preventable and it is getting worse. The #Momnibus is the solution, and Congress must pass it now.
