The purpose of this resolution is to officially recognize the week of May 3 to May 9, 2026, as "National Postpartum Awareness Week for Communities of Color." This initiative aims to raise awareness about the significant health disparities faced by women of color during the postpartum period, which is the time following childbirth. Key provisions of the resolution include acknowledging the high rates of maternal mortality in the United States, particularly among Black and Native American women, who are disproportionately affected.
