The tour is focused on reducing the unacceptably high maternal mortality and morbidity rates in the U.S., especially among Black  and American Indian/Alaska Native moms. According to the  CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), Black women are three times and AI/AN women are two times more  likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than White women,  and over 80% of those deaths are preventable. The M.O.M.S. Tour will intentionally serve those at greatest risk: Black and AI/ AN moms in urban and rural communities.
