Bill > HRes569

This resolution affirms diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) as fundamental values of the United States, presenting comprehensive evidence of persistent discrimination across multiple sectors including education, employment, healthcare, housing, and government programs. The resolution highlights significant disparities experienced by Black, Latino, Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, Indigenous, LGBTQI+, and disabled populations, showing systemic inequalities in areas such as wage earnings, employment opportunities, educational access, and healthcare treatment. It emphasizes that DEIA initiatives are not about quotas or preferential treatment, but about leveling the playing field and ensuring equal opportunities for all individuals, which ultimately benefits society by increasing innovation, productivity, and economic potential. The resolution calls on local, state, and federal policymakers, educational institutions, workplaces, and organizations to adopt inclusive practices, remove barriers, and provide equitable opportunities, positioning DEIA as essential for achieving the American Dream and maintaining a fair, prosperous, and democratic society.
