Join us for the Third Annual Black Infant and Maternal Health Convening, a day of education, advocacy, and action focused on improving outcomes for Black mothers, birthing people, and infants across West Virginia.Register here: https://www.votervoice.net/WVPolicy/Events/8431/Register
This year’s convening will begin with an overview of the state of infant and maternal health in West Virginia, highlighting key challenges, data, and stories from families and communities. Participants will also learn about policy priorities currently being advanced to improve maternal health, strengthen community supports, and ensure equitable access to care.
In the afternoon, attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with lawmakers through scheduled meetings and desk drops at the Capitol to share stories, data, and policy solutions.
We’ll close the day with a lawmaker reception at 5:30 PM, focused on the importance of paid family and medical leave in supporting healthy pregnancies, births, and infant care in West Virginia.
Come learn, connect, and take action to ensure every family in West Virginia has the support they need to thrive.
Finally, we’re collecting diapers (all sizes) and baby wipes to distribute to families and community organizations in need across southern West Virginia. Your donation helps support parents and caregivers who are working hard to give their babies the best possible start in life.
