This session will discuss health disparities in the black community. We will discuss how bias affects the treatment of black women in labor. Particularly, how this bias leads to high infant and maternal mortality. This session will end with presenting multiple avenues for participants to get involved in Mothering Justice’s policy work and Black Maternal Health Campaign.
