This House of Representatives resolution declares an unconditional war on racism and invidious discrimination , condemning these issues as evil and antithetical to the United States Constitution. It commits to providing the necessary resources and funding for their defeat, drawing inspiration from past national efforts like the "War on Poverty" to address pervasive systemic racism. A central provision is the call for legislation to establish a Cabinet-level Department of Reconciliation , tasked with eliminating racism and invidious discrimination. This department would develop and coordinate a comprehensive national strategy to combat these issues across all areas of American life, such as policing, housing, and education. Headed by a Secretary appointed by the President, the proposed department would receive a substantial budget, equivalent to not less than 10 percent of the Defense Department's budget, and would provide semi-annual progress reports to Congress.
