Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
This resolution acknowledges the "Black Women Best" framework, a policy approach designed to address economic and social disparities affecting Black women in America. The resolution documents significant wage gaps, job losses, and systemic barriers that Black women face, including earning substantially less than other demographic groups and experiencing higher rates of poverty, food insecurity, and inadequate healthcare. The framework calls for implementing guaranteed income programs, expanding child and earned income tax credits, improving access to equitable healthcare and government assistance programs, removing police from schools, and shifting toward restorative justice practices. Rather than appropriating specific funding or establishing new programs, this resolution expresses congressional support for using the Black Women Best framework as a guideline for future policymaking and encourages consideration of legislative proposals outlined in a 2023 Congressional Caucus report. The resolution does not create binding requirements or timelines but serves as a statement of congressional intent to center the experiences of Black women in policy discussions moving forward.
