The A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) finds the number of US women dying from pregnancy-related issues remains at crisis level. The persistent racial and ethnic disparities reflect how systems and policies continue to fail people of color, especially our most vulnerable populations. {March of Dimes and CDC] 

The fact is, we have not improved as a nation, and the same healthcare systems that have historically failed women of color continue to do so today, putting too many moms at risk of dying.
