A resolution recognizing 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.

S.Res. 646 is a non-binding resolution that would recognize March 14, 2026, as Black Midwives Day in the United States. The resolution aims to acknowledge and celebrate the longstanding contributions that Black midwives have made to maternal and infant health outcomes across the country. As a non-binding resolution, this measure does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature; rather, it serves as a symbolic recognition by the Senate.

If passed, this resolution would establish an official day of recognition but would not create any new programs, funding, or legal requirements. The practical impact would be primarily ceremonial, raising awareness about the historical and ongoing role of Black midwives in healthcare. The resolution was introduced by Senator Cory Booker on March 17, 2026, and is currently under committee consideration.
