Supporting the recognition of March 14, 2026, as "Black Midwives Day" and the longstanding and invaluable contributions of Black midwives to maternal and infant health in the United States.

H.Res. 1120 is a non-binding resolution introduced by Representative Gwen Moore (D-WI) that would recognize March 14, 2026, as Black Midwives Day. The resolution aims to acknowledge the longstanding and invaluable contributions that Black midwives have made to maternal and infant health outcomes in the United States. As a non-binding resolution, this measure does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature; it serves as a symbolic recognition rather than creating any new policies or legal requirements.

If passed, the resolution would establish an official day of recognition for Black midwives and their role in healthcare. This is a commemorative measure focused on honoring a specific group of healthcare professionals and their historical and ongoing impact on public health. The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been referred to committee in March 2026.
