Thank you to the hundreds who joined us on June 3 for an important community conversation about the needs of birthing people during COVID-19 in the Commonwealth.

On June 3, 2020, hundreds gathered for a virtual Massachusetts COVID-19 Maternal Health Equity Town Hall hosted by Senator Elizabeth Warren, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, Congresswoman Katherine Clark, and state legislators Representative Kay Khan, Representative Liz Miranda and Senator Becca Rausch, and the MA Covid-19 Maternal Equity Coalition (formerly MA Covid-19 Perinatal Coalition) with special guests Senate President Karen Spilka and Senator Joan Lovely. Pregnant and postpartum mothers, midwives, nurses, and researchers shared their powerful stories describing their experiences and challenges for maternal health and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic.
