Supporting the recognition of a "Day of Remembrance and Commitment to Maternal Health Equity", honoring the life of Kira Johnson, and commending 4Kira4Moms for its unwavering dedication to improving maternal health in Atlanta, throughout Georgia, and across the United States, and for other purposes.
This resolution formally recognizes a Day of Remembrance and Commitment to Maternal Health Equity to honor Kira Johnson, a mother who died from preventable complications in 2016, and commends the organization 4Kira4Moms for its work improving maternal health outcomes. The document highlights 4Kira4Moms' advocacy for federal legislation aimed at reducing racial disparities in maternal care, including efforts to fund community organizations, train healthcare workers on bias reduction, and establish hospital compliance programs for respectful maternity care. It also acknowledges the organization's support for broader policy initiatives that address social determinants of health, data collection, and paternal engagement in maternal health. The resolution serves as a commemorative statement rather than a law, expressing support for ongoing efforts to address preventable maternal deaths in the United States.
