Bill > SRes240

This resolution affirms diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility as fundamental values of the United States, emphasizing the ongoing need to address systemic discrimination and inequality across various sectors including education, workplace, healthcare, housing, and government programs. The resolution highlights persistent disparities faced by marginalized groups, such as Black, Latino, Asian American, Indigenous, LGBTQ+, and disabled individuals, who continue to experience discrimination in employment, education, healthcare, and other areas. It presents extensive data demonstrating wage gaps, workplace discrimination, limited access to opportunities, and systemic barriers that prevent full participation in society. The resolution argues that diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility initiatives are not about preferential treatment or quotas, but about leveling the playing field and ensuring that merit is measured more accurately and inclusively. Ultimately, the resolution calls on policymakers, educational institutions, workplaces, and organizations to adopt and promote inclusivity, expand diversity and accessibility, remove barriers, and provide equitable opportunities for all individuals, asserting that such efforts benefit not just marginalized groups but society as a whole.
