Advocate for Change

More than 21,000 babies a year are stillborn, but it does not have to be this way! Constituents like you can help us raise the volume on the stillbirth crisis by advocating for stillbirth prevention legislation and systemic change. Get involved in reaching decision makers to encourage them to support policies, legislation and programs that can prevent preventable stillbirths!

Raise the Volume on the Stillbirth Crisis

We hear time and time again from Congressional staffers that hearing from constituents is the number one thing that gets Congress to ACT. If you haven’t done so already, please lend your voice to this movement. Learn more about how you can show your support for the SHINE for Autumn Act.
