📣 Data-Guided Advocacy for Infant Mortality

❤️ 📊 Can evidence-based policies reduce the risk of infant mortality in America? We think so. Here's what we did:

🪜 STEP-BY-STEP
STEP 1️⃣ : 🔍 Where is infant mortality high?
STEP 2️⃣ : 🔍 Where is early prenatal care lowest?
STEP 3️⃣ : 🔍 Where are insurance rates low?
STEP 4️⃣ : 🏛️ Who are representatives of those counties?
STEP 5️⃣ : 💌 Email representatives 📣

Note: Low/High data estimates are based on U.S. benchmarks.

We advocate for evidence-based policies. We are thrilled to share emails from lawmakers when they comment upon evidence-based policies. We do not endorse any particular politician, political party, or political candidate.
