Expressing support for the designation of December 16, 2024, as the "National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Black Women and Girls".

Bill 118 HRES 1593, also known as the "National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Black Women and Girls" resolution, aims to designate December 16, 2024, as a day to bring attention to the issue of missing and murdered Black women and girls in the United States. The resolution expresses support for raising awareness about the disproportionate rates at which Black women and girls go missing or are victims of violence.

It emphasizes the need for law enforcement agencies, policymakers, and the public to prioritize the safety and well-being of Black women and girls, and to take action to prevent further harm.

By designating December 16, 2024, as the "National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Black Women and Girls," the resolution seeks to honor the lives of those who have been lost, raise awareness about the systemic issues that contribute to their vulnerability, and advocate for justice and accountability for those responsible for their disappearances or deaths. Overall, Bill 118 HRES 1593 is a non-partisan effort to bring attention to a pressing issue affecting the Black community in the United States, and to encourage meaningful action to address the disparities and injustices faced by Black women and girls.
