This resolution designates March 14, 2026, as "Black Midwives Day" to acknowledge the significant and enduring contributions of Black midwives to maternal and infant health across the United States. It highlights the critical role of midwifery in improving maternal health outcomes, especially in addressing the nation's maternity care desert crisis and the disproportionately high maternal mortality rates among Black women. The resolution underscores that increasing the number of Black midwives is essential for providing culturally competent care, building trust, and enhancing health outcomes for Black mothers and their infants. The resolution encourages federal, state, and local governments to take proactive steps to address racial disparities in maternal health by supporting initiatives that diversify the perinatal workforce and increase access to culturally congruent care. It specifically calls for increased funding for education, training, and mentorship programs for Black midwives, alongside removing barriers and restrictions to their practice. Furthermore, it advocates for authorizing the autonomous practice of all midwives to the full extent of their training, promoting funding coverage for midwife-led care through programs like TRICARE and Medicaid, and actively working to destigmatize and decriminalize midwifery pathways in various settings.
