I uploaded this flyer. It shares the need for masks and other protective equipment in fighting against the corona virus, especially for the population of pregnant women and new moms. The website has campaigns to aid in providing masks to moms and moms-to be in the Chicago-area. They do this in hopes to ensure these moms feel safe and secure during their pregnancy amidst a pandemic. Although I am not in that region of the country, I can understand the campaign for women in this category across the country and the globe. I think it important for historians to look back on this time in history and reflect the needs of certain demographics during this time.
