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

This resolution designates December 16, 2024, as a National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Black Women and Girls. It symbolically recognizes the disproportionate rate at which Black women and girls are reported missing (37% of missing persons despite being 15% of the female population) and calls for public awareness, honoring victims, and supporting families. The resolution urges the public, agencies, and organizations to commemorate this crisis, share best practices, and advocate for better resources - without creating new laws or funding. It is a non-binding expression of support, not a policy change.
