Current4Kira4Moms is a nonprofit dedicated to eradicating maternal mortality and improving maternal outcomes through a three-tier approach: Education & Community Outreach, Advocacy, and Policy/Legislation Reform. Our work over the yearshas focused on raising awareness of the issue and activating committed actors to create policies.Our team has raised awareness of the maternal health crisis and advocated for substantive maternal health reform at the state and national levels.Most recently, our efforts in collaboration with our network of partners at the Black Maternal Health Caucus, resulted in President Biden signing critical maternal health priorities into law. These provisions included $100 million in “Momnibus” funding to support evidence-based maternal health programs and initiatives that address the drivers of maternal mortality. The Kira Johnson Act was awarded $7 million in funding.
