H.Res. 280 is a symbolic resolution that expresses support for National Women's History Month and honors the achievements and contributions of women throughout American history. The resolution recognizes March as National Women's History Month and celebrates major milestones in women's rights and political representation, from the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention through the election of Vice President Kamala Harris in 2020. It highlights the work of pioneering women like Susan B. Anthony, Harriet Tubman, and Jeanette Rankin, as well as the organizations that have worked to preserve and teach women's history since the 1970s. The resolution does not authorize any funding, establish new programs, or create binding requirements—it simply affirms congressional support for the month's goals and recognizes the women and organizations promoting women's history education. The resolution was introduced on March 31, 2025, by Representative Thompson of California and bipartisan co-sponsors.
