Join us for a pivotal half-day summit, "Hands That Rock the Cradle: Expanding Policies to Protect Black Maternal and Infant Health," hosted by the esteemed Johns Hopkins Center for Health Disparities Solutions, Congressional Black Caucus, Congressional Hispanic Caucus Initiative, and NMAC. The mission of the HOPE Challenge initiative is to engage legislators, administration officials, advocates, and other influential stakeholders in the effort to advance equity-centered federal policy solutions to close preventable racial and ethnic health disparities. The summit aims to shine a spotlight on the pressing health disparities facing Black mothers and infants, discussing the why and how behind the stark statistics that Black women and infants are significantly more likely to die during childbirth than their non-Hispanic white counterparts.

Don't miss this opportunity to be part of the conversation and solution to one of the most critical public health challenges of our time. Together, we can protect and uplift the health of Black mothers and infants through impactful policy change. For more information, visit the HOPE Challenge Website.
