00:00Today in the United States, we are in the midst of a maternal health crisis.
00:06And this has been pretty much the status quo since I started advocating on this issue more
00:11than 15 years ago.
00:13The United States is one of just a few countries that have a rising maternal mortality rate.
00:18We lose a woman every two minutes in this country from a pregnancy or childbirth-related
00:24complication, and black women are three to four times more likely to die from a pregnancy
00:29or childbirth-related complication, indigenous women right behind them.
00:34And this is a real devastation, a catastrophe, honestly, and something that while we are
00:42seeing more recognition and more stories come to light and more headlines, the numbers really
00:48aren't shifting and probably will not do so given the rollbacks that we've seen in the
00:53last couple of years.
