Autoimmune Disease Awareness Month; recognize March 2025

SR 381 is a resolution recognizing March 2025 as Autoimmune Disease Awareness Month. It highlights that autoimmune diseases affect over 50 million Americans, disproportionately impacting women (80% of cases) and Black women, who face higher risks for conditions like lupus and sarcoidosis. The resolution aims to raise public and healthcare awareness about these diseases and their health disparities, particularly for Black women. As a symbolic measure, it does not create new laws or funding but encourages education and advocacy through public recognition.
