Quote the text, not the summary. A Georgia Senate resolution commends the National Coalition of 100 Black Women Inc. and the 100 Black Men of America Inc. and recognizes March 10, 2026, as their Joint Day at the Georgia State Capitol. ### Plain-language summary 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. ### What it does - Formally commends the National Coalition of 100 Black Women Inc. and the 100 Black Men of America Inc. for their work in Georgia. - Designates March 10, 2026, as a Joint Day at the Georgia State Capitol for both organizations. - Names specific Georgia chapters of each organization, including the host chapter for the Capitol event, the Stone Mountain Lithonia Chapter. - Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute copies of the resolution to named leaders of both organizations. ### Who it affects The resolution directly names the National Coalition of 100 Black Women Inc., the 100 Black Men of America Inc., and their Georgia chapters and leaders. It has no regulatory effect on the general public, businesses, or government agencies. ### Why it matters The resolution carries no legal or regulatory weight and changes no Georgia law. Its practical effect is symbolic recognition: it marks a specific day for the two organizations to be honored at the Capitol and provides them with an official copy of the Senate's commendation. ### Key provisions - The resolution recognizes March 10, 2026, as the Joint Day at the Georgia State Capitol for both organizations. - It commends both organizations for their contributions to education, health, economic development, and mentorship. - It directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies to Virginia Harris, Milton H.
