WHAT THE BILL DOES

It brings national attention to the NCNW's long-standing efforts in areas like economic empowerment, health and wellness, and education, which affect millions of Americans. If this resolution passes, it provides a formal, public acknowledgment of the NCNW's contributions, reinforcing the value of such community-focused advocacy.
