Recognizing that the United States needs a Marshall Plan for Moms in order to revitalize and restore mothers in the workforce.
Summary
House Resolution 121 is a non-binding proposal that calls for a comprehensive federal framework, referred to as a "Marshall Plan for Moms," to support mothers who faced economic and social challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. The resolution outlines a series of policy goals intended to help women re-enter and remain in the workforce, such as establishing a national paid leave program, increasing the federal minimum wage to at least $15 per hour, and making child tax credits permanent. If the policies within the resolution were enacted into law, citizens would see expanded access to affordable childcare, increased financial assistance through recurring child benefits, and improved access to mental health services.
