Mobilizing Change: BLM and Maternal Health

This chapter examines the influence of the Black Lives Matter movement on voter mobilization during the 2020 elections and the subsequent feelings of disconnection among its leaders. It also highlights the decline of maternity care services in America, particularly in rural areas, stressing the growing maternal mortality crisis and the challenges faced by pregnant individuals.
