Kira Johnson did everything right.

She still did not make it home. Thank you to the village for standing with Kira and with this mission. Today, with our partners at @dr.shalons_map we go inside Bill 2 of 4 in our Momnibus breakdown: the Kira Johnson Act. On April 12, 2016, Kira checked into a hospital to give birth to her second son. Her concerns went unanswered. She died of a hemorrhage about 12 hours after delivery. Her death was preventable. This bill carries her name, and it is Title III of the Momnibus Act, H.R. 7973. Here is what it does. It funds community-based organizations directly, so the village doing the work gets the resources to keep doing it. It funds training for every employee in maternity care settings, on bias, racism, and discrimination. It funds accountability programs in hospitals, so patients can report disrespect and bias and hospitals answer for it. The system is the problem, and the Momnibus is the solution!! These bills have been waiting to pass. Here is how you help us see it through. Contact your representative and senators and ask them to support the Kira Johnson Act and pass the Momnibus. Comment “momnibus” or visit the link in our bio to learn more about how to get this bill passed through congress. #maternalhealthmatters #maternalhealth #eradicatematernalhealth #passthemomnibus #thekirajohnsonact
