Last month, Columbia School of Social Work had the privilege of co-sponsoring Shaping Lives, Shaping Policy: A Legislative Breakfast on Black Maternal Health in partnership with the NYU McSilver Institute for Poverty, Policy and Research. 

The event began with opening remarks from NYS Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and NYC Council Speaker Adrienne E. Adams. Both are the first Black women in their respective positions and are at the forefront of necessary policy change in the maternal health space.
