A resolution expressing support for the Senate to work alongside the Congressional Black Caucus to build the Black Wealth Agenda and outline the legislative priorities to achieve the Black Wealth Agenda.
SRES 598 is a non-binding Senate resolution expressing support for the Senate to collaborate with the Congressional Black Caucus in developing the "Black Wealth Agenda." It outlines legislative priorities to address systemic racial wealth disparities, including expanding homeownership access, supporting Black entrepreneurship, reforming housing policies, and strengthening workforce development programs. The resolution highlights data showing Black households hold only 4% of U.S. wealth despite representing 14.4% of the population, with key focus areas targeting housing discrimination, wage gaps, and barriers to business ownership. As a procedural resolution, it does not create new laws but commits the Senate to advancing these policy goals.
