On Tuesday, August 5 at 2:00 PM ET, join the Black Maternal Health Federal Policy Collective as we hear from policymakers and advocates about how changes to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act included in the reconciliation bill will impact Black maternal health.
A panel of experts will discuss the immediate and long-term impact of the recently signed law on patients, communities, and health care practitioners serving in underresourced areas. Panelists will also offer their insight on how state and local advocates can prepare for and fight back against harmful provisions in the reconciliation bill.
Live CART and ASL interpretation will be provided.

- Jamille Fields Allsbrook, assistant professor of law, Howard University; senior fellow, National Partnership for Women and Families
