I first met Dr. Kerri Aronson in 2024 when she was pregnant and advocating in Washington, D.C. — like so many of us there, determined to get the attention of our legislators and bring awareness to the heartbreak of preventable stillbirth. Our hope was simple: to show why bills like the SHINE for Autumn Act (H.R. 5469/S. 2858) are so desperately needed.

Kerri’s story began as she prepared for her scheduled C-section to welcome her daughter. But when her baby’s movements suddenly changed, she knew something was wrong. Like too many mothers, Kerri delivered her stillborn baby — and soon began searching for answers and ways to make a difference.

Her search led her to Debbie Haine Vijayvergiya, the driving force behind the SHINE for Autumn Act, and to the organization Healthy Birth Day. After reaching out, Kerri received an invitation to join them in Washington, D.C. to advocate for legislation that could save lives — including the Stillbirth Prevention Act, which successfully passed in 2024.

Tune in to hear Kerri share her powerful story, her journey to advocacy, and why speaking out matters now more than ever.
