BIRTH EQUITY THROUGH HEALTH POLICY

Written By Brelynn Hunt

Health policy is a powerhouse in the fight for birth equity! 💪🏾✨ Through legislation, we pave the way for improved health access, tackle social determinants of health, and uplift the maternal care workforce. It’s about better practices, combating crises, and boosting health outcomes for all. 👩🏽‍🍼💕

Exciting news! 🎉 Our founder, Brelynn Hunt, is now lending her expertise to a member of Congress’s office, shaping healthcare policies through the incredible John R. Lewis, NREI for Social Justice Fellowship with the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation! 🏛️💼

Let’s take a moment to celebrate the impactful work already done, like the White House Blueprint for Addressing the Maternal Health Crisis. 📋✅ From extended Medicaid postpartum coverage to launching maternal mental health hotlines, these wins are changing lives! 💖

But our journey doesn’t end here. 🚀 Let’s keep pushing for more, advocating for every Black mom across the US. 🙌👩🏾‍🦱 Huge thanks to leaders like VP Kamala Harris (@kamalaharris) for championing these crucial changes! 🌟👏🏽
