This resolution states that the House of Representatives supports designating August 25 through August 31, 2026, as "Black Breastfeeding Week."

It states that Congress must support policies on affordable health care, paid leave after a child's birth, and places for breastfeeding mothers to express milk. It also states that Congress must work toward ensuring Black communities have housing, transportation equity, nutritious food, clean water, a living wage, and other listed conditions. The resolution does not create a law or provide funding.
