Whereas the Sojourn to the Past program annually takes 
high school students to the historic locations of the civil 
rights movement, teaching them how the practice of non-
violence influenced the civil rights movement by miti-
gating discrimination, violence, hatred, bigotry, and in-
equity in schools and communities across the United 
States; 
Whereas students visit historic sites in Atlanta, including the 
Martin Luther King National Historical Park, where stu-
dents are able to learn about the life of Dr. King and his 
impact on American history; 
Whereas Atlanta served as an epicenter during the civil rights 
movement, and other Southern cities such as Selma, Bir-
mingham, Jackson, Montgomery, and Nashville also have 
historic monuments and sites relevant to the civil rights 
movement; 
Whereas the goal of the Sojourn to the Past program is to 
inspire students to become civic leaders with a duty and 
ability to unite people in their communities in equality 
and justice through knowledge, understanding, and com-
passion; 
Whereas the Youngstown Sojourn to the Past students suc-
cessfully petitioned the Youngstown School Board, the 
Youngstown City Council, and the Youngstown State 
University trustees to declare the first week in October 
each year to be ‘‘Nonviolence Week’’; 
Whereas the Sojourn to the Past program has afforded par-
ticipating students with a life-changing experience by al-
lowing them to visit the American South and serves as 
a catalyst for them to become activists and apply non-
violence principles throughout their lives and professions;

Whereas, as youth violence is becoming increasingly common 
in United States society, the practice of nonviolence may 
serve as a tool to dismantle egregious acts such as school 
shootings and other forms of mass shootings, bullying, 
and the continued violence plaguing United States com-
munities; 
Whereas, according to the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (in this resolution referred to as the ‘‘CDC’’), 
youth violence is common, and according to the CDC’s 
Adolescent Behaviors and Experiences Survey, 12.5 per-
cent of students reported being bullied on school property 
in the last year; 
Whereas, according to the CDC, youth violence results in 
considerable physical, emotional, and economic con-
sequences; 
Whereas, according to the CDC’s nationwide Adolescent Be-
haviors and Experiences Survey, 4.6 percent of students 
had been threatened or injured with a weapon on school 
property 1 or more times during the 12 months before 
the survey; 
Whereas youth violence can significantly inhibit a child’s ac-
cess to education and his or her ability to feel safe, se-
cure, and confident in an academic environment; 
Whereas sexual violence on college campuses is a pervasive 
issue plaguing the American education system and im-
pacts both men and women; 
Whereas hostility toward homosexuality and gender noncon-
formity continues to plague gay, lesbian, bisexual, and 
transgender youth and adults in the United States; 
Whereas gun violence is an issue that continues to impact all 
Americans, with 4 out of every 10 of gun deaths being

firearm homicides and hundreds of mass shootings occur-
ring annually; 
Whereas thousands of Americans have died as a result of gun 
violence, families have been impacted by egregious acts of 
gun violence, and youth have been particularly vulnerable 
to its impact in their schools; 
Whereas the practice of nonviolence is one that may be bene-
ficial to people of all age groups, and beneficial to United 
States society overall in combating increased violence and 
loss of life in our society; and 
Whereas the principle of nonviolence has been a core philos-
ophy of many successful social change movements: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the goals and ideals of ‘‘National 
Nonviolence Week’’ to raise awareness of youth vio-
lence in the United States and the benefits of prac-
ticing nonviolence principles; and 
(2) encourages the people of the United States, 
State and local officials, middle schools and high 
schools, law enforcement agencies, and other inter-
ested groups to observe ‘‘National Nonviolence 
Week’’ with appropriate programs and activities that 
promote awareness and prevention of youth violence.

Whereas there has been a persistent shortage of nurses 
across all fields, while demand continues to grow; 
Whereas mothers are dying in the United States at the high-
est rate in the developed world, and the crisis is most se-
vere for Black mothers; 
Whereas nurses are positioned to provide unique insight into 
patient care circumstances that may contribute to wom-
en’s deaths, thereby reducing the rate of, and disparity 
in, maternal mortality; 
Whereas October, the 10th month of the year, was chosen to 
celebrate National Perinatal Nurses Week to represent 
an Apgar score of 10; 
Whereas Apgar is the point system used to evaluate the 
health of a newborn baby, with 10 representing the 
healthiest possible score for a baby, and this score would 
be assigned and recorded by the perinatal nurse attend-
ing the birth; 
Whereas the 10th day of the month of October was chosen 
to begin National Perinatal Nurses Week to represent 10 
centimeters dilated, the measurement used to evaluate a 
woman’s progress in labor, which constitutes complete 
cervical dilation, the successful completion of the first 
phase of labor when a woman is ready to deliver her 
baby, and this progress would be supported and recorded 
by the perinatal nurse attending the birth; and 
Whereas the week of October 10, 2022, through October 17, 
2022, is set aside to celebrate National Perinatal Nurses
