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 to white, non-Hispanic men, and its impact on women, families, and the United States. It notes that July 21, 2026, is Black Women's Equal Pay Day. It cites Census data stating that Black women working full time, year round are paid 65 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men. The resolution would also restate Congress's support for equal pay for equal work and for narrowing the gender wage gap. It does not create new laws, programs, or funding.
