A House statement backing the "Black Women Best" policy framework — no change in law or spending

The details

Most people would see no change in daily life. This resolution would not change any law or spend any money. It states the House's view only. The resolution names the "Black Women Best" framework. Janelle Jones, a former chief economist at the Labor Department, designed it. The idea is to build policy around the lives of Black women. The framework calls for guaranteed income and larger child and earned income tax credits. It also calls for better access to health care and aid programs, no police in schools, and restorative justice. The resolution lists figures on pay gaps, job losses, health care, and housing that it says Black women face. It urges using this kind of framework to shape future laws. It also points to a 2023 list of bill ideas from the Congressional Caucus on Black Women and Girls.
