Supporting the designation of the week of April 11 through April 17, 2026, as "Black Maternal Health Week", founded by Black Mamas Matter Alliance, Inc. (BMMA), to bring national attention to the maternal and reproductive health crisis in the United States and the importance of reducing maternal mortality and morbidity among Black women and birthing people.

This resolution states the House of Representatives' support for naming April 11 through April 17, 2026, as "Black Maternal Health Week." It states that Black women in the United States die from pregnancy-related causes at higher rates than other groups. It says Congress must work toward housing, transportation, food, clean air and water, a living wage, and affordable health care, including the full range of reproductive care, for the Black community. It also calls on Congress to pass the Momnibus Act and other maternal health legislation. The resolution does not create a law or provide funding.
