SRES 773 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution supporting the ideals of Bump Day to ensure, through advocacy, awareness, and action, that every mom, regardless of where she lives, the color of her skin, or her ability to pay, gets the care she needs to deliver a safe pregnancy and birth, and a healthy future for herself and the baby she loves.

This resolution (SRES 773) is a symbolic Senate statement supporting Bump Day, an annual campaign focused on maternal health awareness. It highlights existing disparities in maternal care - such as higher maternal mortality rates for Black, Indigenous, and rural women - and emphasizes the need for accessible, respectful care to prevent deaths and complications. The resolution does not create new laws or policies but formally recognizes the importance of addressing preventable maternal health issues through advocacy and awareness. It urges continued efforts to improve maternal healthcare access and outcomes, aligning with Bump Day’s global mission.
