In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It praises two national advocacy and mentorship organizations, the National Coalition of 100 Black Women Inc. and the 100 Black Men of America Inc., for their work supporting education, health, economic empowerment, and mentorship in African American communities across Georgia. The resolution names several Georgia-based chapters of both organizations and designates March 10, 2026, as a Joint Day at the Georgia State Capitol for the two groups. It also directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the resolution to the national leaders of both organizations and to the host chapter, the Stone Mountain Lithonia Chapter of NCBW100.
