Thanks to a new law, Minnesota will become the first state in the country to stop separating incarcerated mothers from their newborns and instead place them in a community-based program for up to a year. We applaud this first-of-its-kind program & hope it's replicated nationwide.

Black women are 2-3 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women. @POTUS and I are determined to ensure that Black women can get the care they deserve through pregnancy, childbirth, and post-partum. #BlackMaternalHealthWeek youtu.be/CoySUc8s1xI
