Commemorating the annual celebration of Día de los Muertos in the United States and around the world.
HRES 832 is a symbolic resolution recognizing Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) as an annual cultural observance in the U.S. and globally. It acknowledges the holiday's origins in Mesoamerican traditions, its significance in honoring deceased loved ones through altars (*ofrendas*), and its role in celebrating Latino cultural heritage. The resolution specifically highlights the contributions of Mexican and Mexican American communities to U.S. society and culture, without creating new laws or obligations. It is a ceremonial gesture by Congress, not a policy with concrete effects on individuals or communities.
