Opinion/Foye: Moms need more than cards and flowers
Jocelyn Foye
Jocelyn Foye is the director of The Womxn Project.
This Mother’s Day people will talk about greeting cards and gifts, but what moms really need are policies and programs that support their health, safety and well-being. No matter where they live, what they look like or how much money they have, all moms want the best for their families and they should have the resources and fair opportunities to thrive.
The United States can do better and we finally have leaders who agree and are taking action. New policies coming from the Biden administration and Congress address historic inequities that have left millions of women and people of color behind. The landmark American Rescue Plan, a massive relief package for families recovering from the pandemic, directly addresses systemic racism by increasing Medicaid funding to confront Black maternal mortality rates.
