A resolution declaring racism a public health crisis.

SRES 67 is a Senate resolution declaring racism a public health crisis in the United States. It cites documented racial health disparities - including lower life expectancy, higher maternal mortality, and disproportionate disease burdens among Black, American Indian, Alaska Native, and other minority communities - as meeting public health crisis criteria (affecting many, unfairly distributed, preventable, and lacking current solutions). The resolution calls for a nationwide strategy to dismantle systemic racism and address social determinants of health (like housing, education, and healthcare access), but it does not create new laws or funding. As a symbolic resolution, it aims to prompt government action rather than impose policy changes.
