New US Legislation Benefits SUID/Stillbirth Prevention Efforts
We are thrilled to announce the introduction of a new Bill (S1445, and HR3212) passing through Congress. The bill, known as the Stillbirth and SUID Prevention, Education, and Awareness Act, is a major step forward for the SIDS community and stands to invoke positive change at an unprecedented level. If passed, the Bill will help improve death-scene data collection and record filing, increase education and awareness, and even expand support services for families in need. We urge you to get in touch with your state's representatives and let them know that you support this bill. Every letter, e-mail, and phone call makes a difference so please do whatever you can. Together, we can make this happen!
