A concurrent resolution recognizing the significance of equal pay and the disparity in wages paid to men and to Black women.

This concurrent resolution would have Congress recognize the difference in wages paid to Black women compared with white, non-Hispanic men, and the effect of that difference on women, families, and the country. It would also state that Congress again supports equal pay for equal work and narrowing the gender wage gap. The resolution notes July 21, 2026, as Black Women's Equal Pay Day and cites Census data that Black women working full time, year round are paid 65 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men. The resolution does not create new laws, programs, or funding.
