In plain language
This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia Senate rather than a change to state law. It commends two national organizations, the National Coalition of 100 Black Women Inc. and the 100 Black Men of America Inc., for their work on education, economic empowerment, and mentorship, particularly through their Georgia chapters. The resolution names the National Coalition's Georgia chapters, including the Stone Mountain Lithonia Chapter serving as host for the event, and lists numerous Georgia chapters of the 100 Black Men of America. It formally designates March 25, 2025 as their Joint Day at the Georgia State Capitol and directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the resolution to the organizations' leaders.
