It fueled a movement.<\/p>\n<p>During Black Maternal Health Week, a national campaign to raise awareness and improve outcomes for Black mothers, the Detroit-based organization Mothering Justice is spotlighting what happens when advocacy turns into action.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re not only calling for change, we&#8217;re creating it,&#8221; said Atkinson, founding executive director of Mothering Justice. &#8220;Black women are more likely to die during childbirth, have lower-paying jobs, and are often the primary caregivers. That reality demanded action.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Atkinson, a mother of six, founded Mothering Justice after struggling to access affordable child care and paid leave during her first pregnancy. What began as a small effort to connect with other moms quickly evolved into a growing movement of organizers and a strong sense of community.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The whole goal of organizing is to organize ourselves out of a job,&#8221; she said. &#8220;That means a world where inequity doesn&#8217;t exist.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mothering Justice also plays a key role in pushing for legislative change. The group is part of the coalition backing Michigan&#8217;s &#8220;MI Momnibus&#8221; bills, a package of legislation focused on closing racial disparities in maternal health care.<\/p>\n<p>For Tamika Jackson, a reproductive justice organizer with the group, this work is deeply personal.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson shares her traumatic birth experience with lawmakers in Lansing as part of her fight for trauma-free birthing experiences for Black women \u2014 who, according to the CDC, are nearly 3.5 times more likely to die from childbirth complications than white women.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On May 14, 2022, during what was supposed to be a routine epidural, my anesthesiologist made a mistake,&#8221; Jackson said, speaking to lawmakers in Lansing. &#8220;I suffocated during labor. I coded. I was put on life support and had an emergency C-section. I survived, but just barely.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Since launching in 2012, Mothering Justice has expanded its impact beyond Michigan, building coalitions, pushing for policy change and amplifying the voices of Black mothers across the country.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We built power with Black women and Black people,&#8221; Jackson said. &#8220;And we took that power not only to our state capitol but to our country&#8217;s capitol.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motheringjustice.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Mothering Justice&#8217;s website<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/detroit\/search\/author\/lauren-winfrey\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Lauren  Winfrey<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__image\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/detroit\/search\/author\/lauren-winfrey\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><br \/>\n              <span class=\"img \"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2023\/01\/18\/30fd1bda-1003-4ffe-8824-6ea915e206d4\/thumbnail\/80x80\/eee72cd3e0116b50a3615e943706f5c2\/cbs-detroit-meet-the-team-pic.jpg?v=04a4ba26f526ed8207f014fe1018c4aa#\" alt=\"cbs-detroit-meet-the-team-pic.jpg \" height=\"80\" width=\"80\" class=\" lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2023\/01\/18\/30fd1bda-1003-4ffe-8824-6ea915e206d4\/thumbnail\/80x80\/eee72cd3e0116b50a3615e943706f5c2\/cbs-detroit-meet-the-team-pic.jpg?v=04a4ba26f526ed8207f014fe1018c4aa 1x, https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2023\/01\/18\/30fd1bda-1003-4ffe-8824-6ea915e206d4\/thumbnail\/160x160\/5293fedc485134f4374d0984a1158058\/cbs-detroit-meet-the-team-pic.jpg?v=04a4ba26f526ed8207f014fe1018c4aa 2x\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%2080%2080'%2F%3E\"\/><\/span><br \/>\n            <\/a>\n          <\/div>\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">A native of Detroit, Lauren Winfrey has dreamed of the day she&#8217;d return home to tell stories in the city that&#8217;s helped shape the woman she is today.
