A resolution recognizing March 14, 2026, as "Black Midwives Day" and the longstanding and invaluable contributions of Black midwives to maternal and infant health in the United States.

This resolution formally recognizes March 14, 2026, as Black Midwives Day to honor the contributions of Black midwives to maternal and infant health in the United States. It highlights the importance of midwifery in addressing gaps in healthcare access and reducing maternal mortality rates, which are disproportionately high among Black women. The bill encourages federal, state, and local governments to take actions such as diversifying the perinatal workforce, removing regulatory barriers for midwives, and expanding insurance coverage for midwifery services. It also calls for increased funding for education and mentorship programs to support Black midwives and promote culturally competent care.
