A resolution affirming that diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility are fundamental values of the United States and emphasizing the ongoing need to address discrimination and inequality in the workplace, pre-K through 12th grade and higher education systems, government programs, the military, and our society.

This resolution (SRES 240) affirms that diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility are core U.S. values and emphasizes the need to address ongoing discrimination across multiple sectors. It directly affects workplaces, K-12 and higher education systems, healthcare, housing, government programs, and the military by citing data on persistent inequities - such as racial disparities in housing discrimination, wage gaps, and underrepresentation in leadership. The resolution does not create new laws but encourages federal, state, and local entities to adopt inclusive policies and remove barriers to opportunity. It references evidence from agencies like the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to support its focus on systemic discrimination. The Senate calls for promoting environments where all individuals can achieve their full potential.
