TODAY: @SenBooker and I re-introduced the MOMMIES Act to expand Medicaid coverage for birthing people & promote community-based, holistic approaches to maternity care.
Every pregnant person should be listened to and treated with dignity and respect during and after childbirth.

While parental burnout is not a psychiatric condition, it is closely associated with psychiatric conditions such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorders, all of which can contribute to or result from burnout syndrome. #MMHWeek2021 #MakingOverMotherhood

Here's the latest on #SB65, CA's #Momnibus bill: today Senate Rules sent the bill to Senate Appropriations. Appropriations has until May 21 to advance the bill to the Senate floor. wclp.org/joint-statement-sto…
Thanks again for everyone's continued support for healthier births in CA!
UPDATE: The CA Senate sent #SB65 back to Senate Rules, where they will decide how the bill will proceed: wclp.org/joint-statement-sto…
Thank you @SenToniAtkins for keeping the bill alive & @NancySkinnerCA for staying the course. We are deeply thankful to everyone who supported SB 65.

Yesterday, as we saw some progress in the fight for Black lives, a bill to address maternal health disparities in CA was stopped, despite overwhelming support.
@SenToniAtkins please let #SB65 undergo the correct legislative process.

In CA advocates are fighting to address maternal health disparities. But politics is holding it up in the senate. @SenToniAtkins please let #SB65 undergo the correct legislative process. #BlackMamasMatter #MaternalJustice

More than 1 in 10 women will experience maternal mental health problems.
We call for the mental health of all women to be monitored, discussed and treated in the same way as her physical health before, during and after pregnancy. #EveryonesBusiness #MaternalMHmatters
