Amy unexpectedly gave birth to her baby at home and everything seemed to be okay. But less than 12 hours later, Amy had to have a series of surgical procedures that ultimately led to her passing.

Tune into the The San Francisco Board of Supervisors hearing discussing the #Reparations plan and the Dream Keepers initiative .

April never got to meet her daughter, Aniya. Her family and supporters are continuing to seek answers, and have called on public officials to investigate April’s case and the hospital.

This #WomensHistoryMonth we are honoring the Black women who passed due to pregnancy related causes. It is time that we put faces to the #maternal mortality crisis.
