Matter. Worthy. Beloved. Needed.

It grieves me to know that in the United States, Black women are 2 to 6 times more likely to die from complications of pregnancy than White women, depending on where they live. This must change and so I would like to raise money for the Black Mamas Matter Alliance. 

Here is their mission:

"The Black Mamas Matter Alliance (BMMA) is a Black women-led cross-sectoral alliance. We center Black mamas to advocate, drive research, build power, and shift culture for Black maternal health, rights, and justice. We honor the work and historical contributions of Black women's leadership within their communities. We value the need to recognize, amplify, and support this work on a national scale. For this reason, BMMA does not have chapters. The alliance is composed of existing organizations and individuals whose work is deeply rooted in reproductive justice, birth justice, and the human rights framework."

Matter is the minimum. 

Black lives are worthy.

Black lives are beloved. 

Black lives are needed. 

With love,

Becky
