  This retired RN knew you belonged in Congress. Thank you for all you’re doing. I spent 25 years as a nurse & I never had an implied bias class or one even addressing this issue. Moms of color should be picking out baby clothes not fearing for their life!

  Thank you for your leadership on this @RepUnderwood and @RepAdams! Black mothers dying at 3-4x the rate of White mothers is appalling and unacceptable. This is even more so since education and income don't protect Black women from this disparity. I look forward to updates.
