I March To Eradicate Poor Healthcare Systems

In 2017, The Nation published "What's Killing America's Black Infants?" The answer was clear: racism in healthcare.

If you know me, you understand that reproductive health, rights, and justice is a top priority. If our system recognizes reproductive "rights" legally without recognizing "justice" (e.g. access/affordability), it is done in vain. This is why I march.

As a premature baby, I grew up understanding how difficult life could be. The older I got, however, I really understood the intersections that racism, sexism, poverty, and health inequities have people's bodies, especially Black women. With nearly 4 million babies born each year, we have a lot of work to do to help them all. We have work to do to push toward equitable healthcare systems and infrastructures. The funds I raise enable March of Dimes to support research, lead programs and provide education and advocacy that truly makes a difference to families in our community and across the country.

If you believe, like I do, that every baby deserves the best possible start, please make a donation to support this community effort. Together we can fight for the health of all moms, parents, and infants.

WE NEED TO UNITE, CONNECT AND FIGHT FOR FAMILIES

With preterm birth rates continuing to rise, the U.S. remains among the most dangerous developed nations for childbirth, especially for women and babies of color.

At March for Babies: A Mother of a Movement you're lifting up communities, creating connections and taking action to make America a more equitable place and ensure that every mom and baby is healthy.

Together, we’re marching to raise funds and awareness to transform the health of all families!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
