RESOLUTION 
Expressing support for the designation of October 2024 as 
‘‘National Youth Justice Action Month’’. 
Whereas the historical role of the juvenile court system is to 
rehabilitate and treat young people while holding them 
accountable and maintaining public safety, and the juve-
nile court system is therefore better equipped to work 
with youth than the adult criminal justice system, which 
is punitive in nature; 
Whereas youth are developmentally different from adults, and 
those differences have been— 
(1) documented by research on the adolescent brain; 
and 
(2) acknowledged by the Supreme Court of the 
United States, State supreme courts, and many State

Whereas Alexander Michel Odeh was born in Jifna, Palestine,

Whereas Alex Odeh was a peace activist who worked to pro-

Whereas Alex Odeh was also a published poet and a lecturer

(2) The House of Representatives must contin-
ually assess its capacity to fulfill its constitutional 
responsibilities. 
(3) Civic education and citizen participation are 
vital components to the continued health of our de-
mocracy. 
(4) Research shows that participation in civic 
life at an early age allows students to build interest 
and skillsets that will keep them engaged citizens 
throughout their lives. 
(5) Ideas to modernize Congress can and should 
come from Americans of different ages, back-
grounds, and walks of life. 
(6) It is therefore appropriate for the House of 
Representatives to institute a new competition to 
both encourage students’ participation in civic life, 
while providing Congress with additional rec-
ommendations to modernize and improve its work.

Affirming the term ‘‘woke’’ and its historical connection to Black history, 
Black liberation movements, and social justice. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
SEPTEMBER 25, 2024 
Ms. LEE of California submitted the following resolution; which was referred 
to the Committee on Oversight and Accountability 
RESOLUTION 
Affirming the term ‘‘woke’’ and its historical connection to 
Black history, Black liberation movements, and social justice. 
Whereas Black history is a critical aspect of United States 
history and has shaped United States culture, including 
the evolution of language; 
Whereas the words ‘‘wake up’’ and ‘‘woke’’ have served as a 
call to action as conveyed by social activist Marcus Gar-
vey who stated, ‘‘Wake up Ethiopia! Wake up Africa’’, 
and the Negro Mine Workers who in 1940 issued the 
statement, ‘‘We were asleep. But we will stay woke from 
now on’’, in advocating against discriminatory pay; 
Whereas the term ‘‘woke’’ was first highlighted in the 1962 
essay, ‘‘If You’re Woke, You Dig It’’, featured in the 
New York Times by Harlem-based writer William Melvin 
Kelley, who documented the cultural appropriation and

distortion of language, resulting in certain idioms being 
abandoned by their original Black creators; 
Whereas the term ‘‘woke’’ has been similarly misused, as tra-
ditional media have reframed ‘‘woke’’ as trendy new 
slang, eroding its cultural connection and separating the 
term from its historical grounding in social justice; 
Whereas, six decades later, right-wing extremists have en-
gaged in a similar exercise of cultural appropriation to 
weaponize and misdefine the term ‘‘woke’’, as evidenced 
by the ‘‘Stop W.O.K.E. Act’’, specifically targeting the 
teaching of United States history and Black educators; 
and 
Whereas Black educators are more likely to teach subjects 
that incorporate an inclusive view of history, and legisla-
tion like the End Woke Higher Education Act threaten 
to undermine both diversity, equity, and inclusion pro-
grams and nondiscrimination protections: Now, therefore, 
be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) affirms the term ‘‘woke’’ and its historical 
connection to Black history, Black liberation move-
ments, and social justice; 
(2) encourages a historically accurate and cor-
rect use of the term ‘‘woke’’ when its misuse is iden-
tified; and 
(3) condemns cultural appropriation, misuse of 
Black idioms, and specific efforts to revise history 
and to distort and redefine the specific term ‘‘woke’’.

progresses, and mental deterioration becomes more pro-

Whereas comprehensive prion disease surveillance is critical
