In New Jersey a Black mother is 7-8 times more likely to die of a pregnancy related complication than a white woman. Her infant is 3-4 times more likely to die before reaching their first birthday. We know that 83% of these deaths are preventable. Your gift helps us to continue to build programming and provide resources to improve access to care and eliminate barriers such as transportation and child care.  Additionally, advocacy and education programs empower our mothers to make evidence based decision that are best for them.
