House would formally recognize a week to boost awareness of postpartum health for women of color.
This bill would have the House officially recognize May 3-9, 2026, as 'National Postpartum Awareness Week for Communities of Color.' It aims to show the unique challenges and higher health risks faced by women and pregnant people of color after birth. The resolution would also back efforts to improve care and stop unfair treatment in maternal health.
Today, the House of Representatives does not officially recognize a specific week for "National Postpartum Awareness Week for Communities of Color." If this bill passes, the House would formally recognize the week of May 3-9, 2026, for this purpose. It would also officially recognize the challenges faced by women of color, support efforts to improve their health, and advocate for better care.
