## Summary

**Centering the lived experiences of Black women** as a policy guide, this resolution would endorse the Black Women Best framework and push Congress to consider policies like guaranteed income, expanded child and earned income tax credits, equitable health care, banning policing in schools, and restorative justice. - Signals focused attention on Black women's economic gaps and encourages remedies. Black women made up about 6.4 percent of the workforce in 2025 with a median annual pay near $40,000 versus $63,210 for non-Hispanic White men. - Encourages expanding the child tax credit and the earned income tax credit to boost family incomes and target child poverty. - Urges banning police in schools and prioritizing restorative justice to reduce the school-to-prison pipeline for Black girls. - Promotes income supports and labor changes like guaranteed income, hazard pay, and stronger worker protections to increase economic security for low-wage workers. - Advocates for more equitable health care access, culturally competent providers, and robust home- and community-based services for people with disabilities.
