Formation of Black Mamas Matter Alliance

Formation of Black Mamas Matter Alliance

In June 2015, the Center for Reproductive Rights in New York partnered with SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective to host a convening titled “Black Mamas Matter Project.” Raising the alarm about the rising maternal mortality rates and its impact on Black women, researchers, service providers, policy experts, and community organizers gathered at the SisterSong Mother House in Atlanta to identify innovative strategies for addressing maternal and reproductive health inequities. Since then, the project has evolved into the Black Mamas Matter Alliance (BMMA), which, among other accomplishments, has advanced a global rights-based policy agenda to improve maternal health of Black women across the diaspora.
