I support establishing Race Amity Day as a national commemorative day on the second Sunday in June.

Race Amity Day is an opportunity to celebrate interracial friendship and showcase the power of interracial partnerships to foster lasting and powerful social change.

Each year, Race Amity Day is celebrated in cities and towns across America with arts and music festivals, public meetings, service projects, leadership symposiums, and other observances.

At the state level, four states (Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Michigan and Connecticut) have established Race Amity Day in perpetuity, while three other states have proclaimed Race Amity Day on at least one occasion. Nearly 60 cities and counties in 17 states have also issued Race Amity Day proclamations.

For these reasons, the U.S. Congress should pass a joint Congressional resolution establishing Race Amity Day in perpetuity on the second Sunday in June.
