## Summary

**Establishing a United States Commission on Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation** is the resolution's central ask, calling for formal federal acknowledgment of slavery and a wide set of later discriminatory policies to spur national healing and reduce persistent racial inequities. The measure ties those historic actions to gaps in education, health, income, home ownership, voting, and incarceration and frames a Commission as a catalyst for change toward racial equality. - Families and communities of color would get formal federal recognition of harms dating back more than 400 years, including slavery, redlining, exclusion from early Social Security, and targeted lending that the resolution links to today’s wealth and opportunity gaps. - Native peoples and tribal nations are singled out for specific historic harms such as Federal Indian boarding schools, land allotment and loss of tribal lands, and disenfranchisement, with a call for acknowledgment and healing. - Veterans, workers, and seniors are highlighted through references to discriminatory GI Bill administration and Social Security exclusions that limited benefits for people of color.
