This resolution designates March 24, 2025, as "National Women of Color in Tech Day" to recognize the contributions and challenges of women of color in the technology sector. The resolution acknowledges that women of color face systemic barriers in tech education, workforce development, and venture capital investment, and notes that they remain significantly underrepresented in STEM fields despite making up a growing share of the U.S. population. The Senate commits to working toward greater diversity and inclusion in tech through improved recruitment, training, and retention of underrepresented minorities, while pledging to eliminate barriers to entry and strengthen investments in educational institutions that serve minority communities. The resolution also urges the President to improve data collection on diversity in STEM education and the tech workforce. No funding is allocated by this resolution, as it is a symbolic designation rather than an appropriations bill.
