Kentucky is a forced pregnancy state and at the forefront of the global maternal health crisis. The United States has the highest maternal mortality rates in the world, and Kentucky has some of the worst birth outcomes in the US—especially for people of color.

The Maternal Health Luncheon is an opportunity for maternal health policy organizations, community members, and advocates to connect, share insights, and collaborate to improve maternal health outcomes in the commonwealth.

The Luncheon will feature a keynote by SisterSong Executive Director Monica Simpson, an opening by ACLU-KY Executive Director Amber Duke, policy presentations by both organizations, and networking opportunities.

Lunch will be provided with several options to accommodate dietary restrictions, and the event venue is fully accessible. Childcare will also be provided.

This event is free but registration is required. Register at the link above by October 31, 2023.

Maternal Health and the ACLU of Kentucky

Kentucky is at the forefront of the global maternal health crisis. The US is the only developed country with increasing rates of maternal mortality, and Kentucky has some of the worst maternal health outcomes in the nation. This is especially true for Kentuckians of color, who are 3x as likely to die during or after birth when compared to their white counterparts. Watch the videos below to see how the ACLU of Kentucky is combatting that problem in the commonwealth.
