Title 3— 

The President 

Proclamation 10864 of November 22, 2024 

National Family Week, 2024 

By the President of the United States of America 

A Proclamation 

My Dad taught me that family is the beginning, the middle, and the end. 

It is everything. During National Family Week, we celebrate the love shared 

by millions of American families, and we recommit to uplifting them, so 

that more families can build their American Dream together. 

Since I came into office, I have been determined to give hardworking families 

a little more breathing room and a fair shot at achieving their dreams. 

That work began with building an economy that would strengthen our 

middle class. My American Rescue Plan kept millions of families afloat 

during the pandemic, ensuring they could stay in their homes and put 

food on their tables. It also delivered the largest-ever Child Tax Credit, 

which helped tens of millions of working families with the costs of raising 

children and cut child poverty nearly in half. My Bipartisan Infrastructure 

Law created jobs rebuilding our Nation’s infrastructure—from strengthening 

our roads, bridges, and ports to removing lead pipes from our homes and 

expanding access to high-speed internet. My CHIPS and Science Act is 

revitalizing American manufacturing, and, throughout my Administration, 

we have created over 1.6 million manufacturing and construction jobs. And 

my Inflation Reduction Act made healthcare more affordable for families, 

saving millions of them an average of $800 per year on their health insurance 

premiums. It will also cap the cost of out-of-pocket prescription drug costs 

at $2,000 per year for seniors on Medicare, easing their cost of care. And 

through my PACT Act, we are helping veterans exposed to toxic materials 

get the benefits they and their families deserve. And today, incomes are 

up almost $4,000, after adjusting for inflation, ensuring families have the 

breathing room they deserve. 

My Administration has also been working to ensure families have the support 

they need to thrive while keeping them safe. I signed the Respect for Marriage 

Act, protecting the right to marriage for same-sex and interracial couples. 

I signed an Executive Order that directed the most comprehensive actions 

of any administration in history to make high-quality child care and longterm care more accessible and support caregivers. I took a slate of historic 

actions to prevent children from being placed into foster care and separated 

from their families without adequate justification. And I signed the most 

comprehensive gun reform bill in nearly three decades to end the scourge 

of gun violence ripping apart our families and deliver historic funding 

to address the youth mental health crisis. 

During National Family Week, may we hold our loved ones close, both 

the family that have been there since the beginning and the family we 

have made along the way. And may we continue to fight for families— 

the heart and soul of our Nation. 

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States 

of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution 

and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim November 24 through 

November 30, 2024, as National Family Week. I invite States, communities, 

and individuals to join together in observing this week with appropriate 

ceremonies and activities to honor our Nation’s families.
