Declaring racism a public health crisis.

This resolution declares racism a public health crisis in the United States, citing evidence that racial and ethnic minority groups face significant health disparities including lower life expectancies, higher maternal mortality rates, and increased risks for chronic diseases. It highlights specific examples such as Black Americans being 3 times more likely to be killed by police than White Americans and Native American women facing disproportionately high rates of violence. The resolution commits to establishing a nationwide strategy to address health disparities, dismantle systemic racism, and advance reforms to improve health outcomes for affected communities. As a formal declaration (not a law), it serves as a call to action for government agencies to address the root causes of racial health inequities.
