Introduced

Summary

Recognizing and supporting fathers is the core aim of this resolution. It would designate Sunday, June 15, 2025 as Father’s Day and urge support for policies that help fathers, families, and child well-being.

Show full summary
  • Families: Urges support for universal paid family and medical leave, affordable, accessible, high-quality child care, and a permanent, fully inclusive, monthly child tax credit.
  • Fathers: Highlights that about 6 in 10 adult men are fathers and that roughly 3,050,000 men are solo fathers. It also notes fathers are as likely as mothers to say parenting is extremely important to their identity.
  • Children and households: Cites links between involved fatherhood and better school performance, emotional security, and later cognitive and academic gains. It says fathers who take two or more weeks off after a birth are more involved nine months later and that each month a father takes leave is associated with a 7 percent rise in the mother’s income.
