Sample Letter Template for S2078/A5008 in New Jersey
Dear Governor Murphy,
On June 24th, both the Senate and the Assembly unanimously approved S2078/A5008. This critical piece of legislation would establish a Stillbirth Resource Center, a Regional Fetal and Infant Mortality Review Committee, and other programs that would focus on the prevention and reduction of stillbirths in our state.
Stillbirth occurs in all socioeconomic classes, races, religions, and maternal age groups--leaving no pregnancy immune. Unbeknownst to many, tragically over 700 stillbirths occur every year in New Jersey. There are also significant racial disparities, with Black women nearly 3 times more likely to suffer a stillbirth than White women. Even with numbers like these, stillbirth remains one of the most underfunded, misunderstood, and understudied public health issues today.
This is why we wanted to express our support for S2078/A5008 and urge you to sign this bill into law. It is vital that we do more to give every family in New Jersey a fighting chance against stillbirth!
Thank you!
All the best,
