Recognizing the 75th anniversary of The Arc of the United States, a leading organization promoting and protecting the civil and human rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and actively supporting their full inclusion and participation in the community throughout their lifetimes.

HRES 875 is a symbolic resolution recognizing the 75th anniversary of The Arc of the United States, a national organization dedicated to advancing the rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It honors The Arc’s historical advocacy, including its role in landmark cases and legislation like the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The resolution does not create new policy or affect any individuals or programs - it solely expresses the House’s recognition of The Arc’s contributions to inclusion and civil rights. This is a ceremonial gesture, not a substantive legislative action.
