SojoAction - Uplifting Black Mamas, Uplifting Life on Wednesday, April 12 at 3 pm ET

SojoAction

In the United States, the maternal mortality rate for Black women in 2020 was 3 times the rate for White women in the United States. Almost two-thirds of pregnancy-related deaths are preventable.  

We invite you to join us in honoring the 6th annual Black Maternal Health Week from April 11-17 by joining the webinar Uplifting Black Mamas, Uplifting Life on Wednesday, April 12 at 3 pm ET. We will focus on bringing awareness and taking action on supporting the needs of Black mamas. We are excited to participate in this weeklong campaign founded to build awareness, activism, and community-building​ to amplify ​the voices, perspectives and lived experiences of Black mamas and birthing people and the lives they bring into this world.

At SojoAction, we believe that we are called to put our faith in action to address this crisis to honor the inherent dignity and worth of mothers and their children. We know that, when women thrive, so do their families and communities and that “if one part suffers, every part suffers with it. If one part is honored, every part shares in its joy” (1 Cor 12:26). We hope you will join us for this educational webinar to help raise awareness and find ways for us to help save the lives of women and children, together.

See you there,

Sandy and Lauren
