H.Res. 1145 is a resolution expressing the House of Representatives' support for National Women's History Month and its goals. The resolution does not create new law or funding but rather honors the historical contributions of American women, from the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention through recent achievements like Vice President Kamala Harris's election in 2020. It recognizes key milestones in women's rights including the fight for voting rights, the 19th Amendment's ratification in 1920, and the first women elected to Congress and state offices. The resolution also acknowledges the National Women's History Month celebration itself, which expanded from a single week in 1981 to a full month in 1987, and highlights the 2026 theme of "Leading the Change: Women Shaping a Sustainable Future." This is a ceremonial measure with no direct budgetary impact or implementation timeline.
