Bill 118 H.Res. 661, titled "Honoring the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom," is a resolution introduced in the US Congress. The resolution aims to commemorate the historic March on Washington that took place 60 years ago, where thousands of Americans gathered to demand equal rights and economic opportunities for all.
The resolution calls on Congress to fulfill the demands of the March participants, which include providing decent housing, ensuring the right to vote for all citizens, and guaranteeing a fair wage for all workers. These demands were central to the goals of the original March on Washington and remain relevant today as the fight for social and economic justice continues.
By honoring the legacy of the March on Washington and reaffirming the importance of these demands, Bill 118 H.Res. 661 seeks to inspire continued efforts to achieve equality and justice for all Americans. It serves as a reminder of the progress that has been made since the historic march, while also highlighting the work that still needs to be done to ensure that all individuals have access to the opportunities and rights they deserve.
