I am dedicated to working with our Black maternal health advocates across the country to make that happen.
Will continue working with Black maternal health advocates to push Congress to address the Black maternal mortality and morbidity crisis.
Occurrences
We are re-introducing the Momnibus Act soon, a package of 13 bills that would comprehensively address the Black maternal health crisis in this country.
Supporting the designation of the week of April 11 through April 17, 2026, as Black Maternal Health Week, founded by Black Mamas Matter Alliance, Inc. (BMMA), to bring national attention to the maternal and reproductive health crisis in the United States and the importance of reducing maternal mortality and morbidity among Black women and birthing people.
Evidence
"This week is a time for us to raise awareness around the maternal mortality and morbidity epidemic Black mothers face and urge our Congressional and state leaders to take action. We need to see a real commitment from Congress to address this crisis, and I am dedicated to working with our Black maternal health advocates across the country to make that happen."
"Black moms matter, Kira Johnson matters, and we need Congress to stand up and take real action by passing the Kira Johnson Act." The release says Adams introduced the bill to address the maternal mortality crisis and that the Momnibus is aimed at addressing every factor of maternal mortality and morbidity.
The release says the members "reintroduced the Momnibus, 14 bills that comprehensively address every driver of maternal mortality, morbidity, and disparities in the United States" and quotes Adams calling it "the most comprehensive piece of legislation ever drafted to address the maternal health crisis."
The page states Adams co-founded the Black Maternal Health Caucus and "fights for the Momnibus, a package of 12 bills focused on improving maternal health outcomes and closing the disparity gap."
The Congressional Record includes remarks tied to Black Maternal Health Week and references Congresswoman Alma Adams and Black maternal health, indicating continued floor-level attention during the 119th Congress.
Assessments
The promise was to continue working with Black maternal health advocates and push Congress to address the Black maternal mortality and morbidity crisis. The evidence shows Adams did exactly that during her current House service: she publicly reaffirmed in 2026 that she was dedicated to working with Black maternal health advocates, helped introduce Black Maternal Health Week legislation, reintroduced the Kira Johnson Act, and was involved in reintroducing the Momnibus package aimed directly at maternal mortality, morbidity, and disparities. Because this promise is about ongoing advocacy and legislative pushing rather than guaranteeing final enactment, these same-term actions satisfy the commitment.
