Hey, I've just seen this in another group and thought it would be good to share it here. It's called Black Mothers Matter and their main project atm seems to be providing free gift hampers to help black women during their pregnancies. They're looking for donations if anyone's looking for a cause to support.

The experiences of Black Women compared to white is just awful. Thank you for sharing this, I will donate.

Also, would this be a good place to share this link?

It's the government consultation on Women's health experiences. It asks for examples of when not listened to etc. I don't understand why MNHQ aren't highlighting this more, it's an opportunity missed imo.

I am so pleased to have this organisation brought to my attention. The maternal experience for black women is frightening.
