"This year, Black Maternal Health Week comes at a time when devastating racial disparities in our nation's health care system are on full display, amplified by the outsized impact that #COVID19 is having on African American communities in Illinois & across the country. #BMHW20"

"In the U.S., African American women are still 2.5x more likely than white women to die as a result of pregnancy. That is unacceptable. We can & must do more to protect women of color & their babies. I remain committed to doing everything I can to protect black maternal health."
