Black women in America are 3x more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women.
TOMORROW on @Morning_Joe, @LizDozier will discuss this week’s @Chicago_Beyond conversation on the Black maternal health crisis and the path toward birth equality.
Chicago Beyond was home to a historic moment for birth equity in Illinois. Watch a recap of the energy in our space when @GovPritzker signed the Birth Equity Initiative into law - increasing investments in maternal health care, and expanding access for women & families statewide.
Next week, Chicago Beyond is joining the @ClintonGlobal community and hundreds of changemakers for #CGI2023 to take action on health equity and so much more. Stay tuned for our journey ahead. Register to watch and join us! https://t.co/NpQ2YLMSgX

The first signature on my 48 jersey came from Molly. A warrior who fought as hard as she could for nearly 2 years. She was feisty & fun & an amazing big sister. I will always look at this jersey and think of you & will continue fighting until we have a cure. #NoGiveUpInUs.
The Far Northwest Side’s Molly Morris is expected to be honored by City Council for her “extraordinary strength and courage” as the 6-year-old battles stage 4 kidney cancer. #MollyStrong@aldnapolitano41 https://t.co/W33uPDSRTL via @BlockClubCHI
