Recognizes that Black women in the United States earn less than White, non‑Hispanic men, identifies causes and harms of that wage gap, and reaffirms Congress’s support for equal pay and narrowing the gender wage gap. The resolution also cites federal laws that prohibit pay discrimination, notes related harms (lost lifetime earnings, reduced savings, economic effects), and identifies July 10, 2025 as Black Women’s Equal Pay Day.
The measure is a nonbinding congressional statement intended to raise awareness, highlight data and policy connections (including links to workplace harassment and family‑friendly policy gaps), and express support for efforts to achieve equal pay; it does not create new programs, change laws, or authorize funding.
Referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. (text: CR S4320)
