Amnesty International Presents
Deadly Delivery
Mothers at the Heart of the Health Care Crisis Here and Abroad

Please join Amnesty International in partnership with UC Hastings Center for Gender and Refugee Studies, California OneCare and UCSF Safe Motherhood Program at the Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health for a special briefing featuring international and domestic experts on maternal mortality and health care as part of the Global Maternal Mortality Crisis Speaker Tour.

Every minute one woman dies as a consequence of complications during birth or pregnancy. That's more than 500,000 women a year, one woman every minute of every day. These women do not die of diseases that can't be treated or complications that can't be prevented. They die because societies have yet to determine that their lives are worth saving. Health care is a human right for every woman regardless of her race or income status.  Amnesty International will announce their support for Senator Mark Leno's Single Payer Bill SB 810.

Healthcare Reform

California Will Do Better

Support SB 810,

the California Universal Healthcare Act

·        SB 810 delivers healthcare to everyone, while the national legislation leaves millions without healthcare.

·        SB 810 saves $345 billion over 10 years, while the national legislation gives private insurance companies $500 billion over 10 years.

·        SB 810 removes the private insurance industry from healthcare. For decades, we have been wasting 31 cents of every healthcare dollar by using the private insurance industry.  They are in business to avoid the sick and deny claims.  It's time to hold them accountable.  It is time to remove these profiteers from our health care.

3pm Sat. May 8
