House would back a framework to guide policies for Black women and all Americans

This resolution would have the House of Representatives formally recognize the 'Black Women Best' framework. This framework suggests ways to improve life for everyone, especially Black women, through ideas like guaranteed income, expanded tax credits, and better healthcare. It would encourage lawmakers to use these ideas when creating new policies.

What Would Change

Today, the House of Representatives has not formally acknowledged or endorsed the Black Women Best framework. After this resolution, the House would officially recognize and support this framework as a guide for future policymaking. This means lawmakers would be encouraged to consider its principles when developing new laws related to income, healthcare, education, and government assistance.
