In the United States, Black birthing people are 3 to 4 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than their white counterparts. This isn’t about biology—it’s about systemic racism in healthcare, policy, and support systems.
At the National Association to Advance Black Birth (NAABB), we are building a future where every Black mother, baby, and family has access to culturally centered, community-rooted, life-affirming care.
AND WE CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOU.
