Support the Global MOMS Act

Thanks to everyone who has helped with Amnesty’s efforts to address the maternal mortality crisis in the United States!

Amnesty is also working on this issue in other countries. Rep. Lois Capps of California has recently introduced the Global MOMS Act to provide family planning, screening, access to health workers, and post partum care to prevent many of the hundreds of thousands of needless deaths that happen every year. Amnesty is supporting this bill. Please call your Representative and urge him to support the Global MOMS Act!
