Did anyone see the NYT magazine story on maternal mortality rates for black mothers? https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/11/magazine/black-mothers-babies-death-maternal-mortality.html
I read some interesting pieces about this around the time of Serena Williams’s Vogue cover story, but this was a great piece that got surprisingly little traction, I thought. Also not covered above but available online is this weekend’s magazine cover story on Harvey Karp and the business of baby sleep (will post link separately).

The data coming out about the racial disparity in quality of medical care provided to women of color (and newborns of color) makes me so sad. Rationally, I know it’s part of a bigger systemic problem (or several systemic problems), and I’m trying to do “my part” to help resolve those problems by paying attention to my behavior, speaking up when I see racial disparities or am told about disparities, and raising kiddo to do the same, but – does anyone know of a charity or organization that is trying to combat this specific problem of maternal care? I would love to donate money or volunteer hours or advocacy or something.
