H.Res. 119 — Declaring racism a public health crisis.

This section declares racism a public health crisis in the United States and supports resolutions drafted, introduced, and adopted by cities and localities declaring racism a public health crisis. It commits to establishing a nationwide strategy to address health disparities and inequities across all sectors in society, dismantling systemic practices and policies that perpetuate racism, advancing reforms to address poor health outcomes for racial and ethnic minority groups, and promoting efforts to address the social determinants of health for all racial and ethnic minority groups in the United States. It places a charge on the people of the United States to move forward with urgency to advance the principle that all people are created equal and endowed with unalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
