Policy Alert — "Black" Removed from Federal Maternal-Health Language (Black Maternal Health)

Policy/advocacy alert from Black Directors Health Equity Agenda: a recent report flags that the word 'Black' has been removed from references to Black maternal-health disparities in federal maternal-health legislation discussions. The post argues this erases the populations most affected — Black women face among the highest U.S. maternal-mortality and pregnancy-complication rates — warning that 'we cannot measure what we make invisible.' Relevant to Black maternal health, Black rights, and public-health policy (#MomnibusAct). References reporting by The 19th.
